Try starting gnome the first time without using the startx gnome thing.
Try using this in your .xinitrc file as the last line, "exec wmaker".
Have you run wmaker.inst to get the environment setup correctly? Go
the user's home and enter the command "wmaker.inst" in an xterm or
console. This will copy a bunch of files and it will also add the exec
wmaker command to your .xinitrc file as the last command. Now after
starting windowmaker, type panel & in an xterm and see if gnome starts.
You can have gnome manage the window manager but first get the load
sequence right. Once you get things working, you can enable the
gnome-session as the loader in your .xinitrc and this will work to load
windowmaker. When you are ready with windowmaker, just type startx and
you should be good. I have had some minor problems getting gnome to
start in its window manager role the first few times I try. What
version of gnome are you using? Are you using the one on the SuSE cd?
There are much later versions of gnome available made specifically for
suse. Check out www.gnome.org and look for the SuSE 6 link.
