GNOME won't start with startx
Ack! So I've been running unstable for a while, and decided to I triy to install GNOME 2 using the experimental pacakges (that was really reckless; I know), and fouled the whole thing up. After a long ordeal, I managed to get GNOME working again, but now the only way to get into it is through gdm. Before, 'startx' would load up a nice GNOME desktop for me; now that command simply loads the "grey screen with x cursor" without seeming to actually load anything GNOME-related. (ps confirms this.) How can I fix my setup so that 'startx' will load GNOME once more? (I did try it as another user, and that didn't work either, so I think it must be a global thing. Also, strangely enough, it won't work with kdm either.) Thanks in advance--gdm is OK, but it takes forever to load. (I'm on an iBook 600 DVD with the Rage 128, if that helps in any way.)
