Hello,
after the problem with fvwm, I have now tried to install gnome.
I installed the metapackage and everything ran smooth. Then I follow
the indications here:
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/GNOME
But I get a window protesting:
"There is a problem with the configuration server:
(/opt/local/libexec/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 2)"
And then
"Could not connect to session bus: Not enough memory"
and
"Could not acuire name on session bus"
I have tried launching the dbus-launch gnome-session, but that makes X
start (I am running full-screen) and after a second it closes.
This is my script:
gumby% cat ~/.xinitrc.d/90-gnome.sh
#!/bin/sh
# make the freedesktop menu entries work
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/local/share
export XDG_DATA_HOME=/opt/local/share
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/opt/local/etc/xdg
# enable sound
export ESPEAKER=localhost
# use GNOME's window manager
#exec quartz-wm &
exec metacity &
# start GNOME
exec /opt/local/bin/gnome-session
#exec /opt/local/bin/dbus-launch /opt/local/bin/gnome-session
