Re: GNOME 0.20

["Geoffrey L. Brimhall" <brimhall@pobox.com>]

If you go digging through the v0.20 directions on the gnome website,
you'll  be shown to add the following statement's to your xwindow's
startup file.

Here's how I've modified my /etc/X11/Xsession:

# the following lines are added to startup GNOME:
background-properties --init &
keyboard-properties --init &
mouse-properties --init &
panel &

# the following is at the very end of Xsession - unmodified !
if [ -x $startup ] && grep -q
^allow-user-xsession /etc/X11/config; then
  exec $startup
else
  xterm -ls &
  if [ -e /etc/X11/window-managers ]; then
    for i in `sed 's/#.*//' /etc/X11/window-managers`; do
      if [ -x $i ]; then
        exec $i
      fi
    done
  fi
  exec twm
fi
