Two questions:


1)


I get the following when trying to install gnome:

xfree86-shlibs conflicts with system-xfree86
 system-xfree86 (version 4.2-6) is installed.


So, is it not possible to install gnome with XFree86 installed manually?




2)

What I really want to do is set up an elegant system whereby I can log onto my FreeBSD server desktop from my OSX machine, and log onto a window manager on that system.

I've been able to set it up so that I log on to the server via ssh -X, and startup a WM environment with gnome-session or startxfce4. However, when I log out, the WM performs the log-out procedure and then X freezes. I have simply quit XDarwin to get out. Not a huge deal, but kind of weird.

What is the best way to set this up? Ideally, I would like to have the option of selecting between a gnome or xfce4 session on my FreeBSD machine, which is why I was trying to install gnome via fink, so I could use XDMCP from gdm (I use gdm on the FreeBSD machine).


Any suggestions? Thanks!
