 using MacPorts 1.7.0_rc1 to install gnome (sudo port -d install gnome) I
 got this error
 {{{
 -->  Activating gnome-session @2.24.1_0
 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error:
 /opt/local/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop is being used by the active gdm

 I did
 {{{
 sudo port -df activate gnome-session
 }}}
 and then resumed the install with
 {{{
 sudo port -d install gnome
 }}}
 was this correct?

 I guess whether it will work or not depends on what the gnome.desktop
 file does. In any case, gdm and/or gnome-session need to be modified so
 they don't conflict.
