RE: how do I configure Xclients etc ?

[Jon Ernast <jernast AZGOV state az us>]

Thanks for the email.  It is always nice when someone listens.

That didn't do the trick through.  It is a straight workstation install of
Redhat 5.2 and Gnome 1.0 downloaded straight from gnome.org, following their
directions.  I copied the rpms to the computer and installed from the 'root'
login.  I am trying to use Gnome from a user login and not set it system
wide, yet.  Then I logged in as the user and created the .Xclients file with
that line.  When I type 'startx' I get ('jernast' is my username)

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitc:  /home/jernast/.Xclients cannot execute:
Permission denied
waiting for xserver to shutdown

I created a '.xinitrc' with
	panel &
	background-properties --init &
	screensaver-perties --init &
	mouse-properites --init &
	exec enlightenment &
	exec gnome-session

and now it seems to run fine.  I found that suggestion when surfing through
all the old postings.  I am assuming this just needs to be added to the
instructions installing Gnome on Redhat 5.2.

jon.

step by step install
install the rpms
in the .Xclients file there should be 1 line
exec gnome-session

that should do it. :)
