Help with GNOME

[Eric Windisch <southpark nni com>]

edit your ~/.xinitrc if it doesn't exist, make it. If it does NOT exist
the command echo "exec /usr/bin/gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc" should
work unless you are running XDM.  Redhat's XDM setup requires you to
edit /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients, I suggest adding an entry for "user"
in Xclients to exec ~/.xinitrc which your user(s) may
select their windowmanager via ~/.wm_style (unless you are like me
and don't care about redhat's stupid way of doing things).

PS. Hope I didn't confuse you too much :)
