I have installed bundle-gnome from unstable on the current version

Is it actually possible at this point to get a gnome installation
that functions properly under 10.4.2 using Apple's X11 in full-
screen mode? I want to be able to launch the X11 app and use my
laptop in full-screen gnome. As it is, trying every way I could
glean from Googling, I end up with a seemingly half-booted gnome,
with no nautilus, very slow, and not fully functional. I can
launch solitaire and a gnome-terminal, very slowly, and that's
about it.
Can anyone tell me if I should abandon this dream and wait for
bundle-gnome to enter stable, or if there is hope and possibly a
url which helps explain how to make this work on a 2005 machine
running 10.4.2?
Thanks!

How exactly are you starting GNOME? The recommended .xinitrc file
setup for GNOME>2.4 and apple's X11 is discussed in:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/run-xfree86.php?phpLang=en#xinitrc
Also, you may need to set an environment variable to get gnome to
work (a new bug in Tiger) as per: http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/
usage-packages.php?phpLang=en#tiger-gtk
