using cygnome with x11
Simple Question: How do I get a gnome-session to always start when I startx. I have set my path to include the x11/bin. I have made an ~/.xinitrc file containing exec gnome-session line. When I launch a cygwin terminal, and type: startx all I get is the default window manager [I think]. Strangely, I was able to launch a gnome session in this way, but only once! After I quit X11 i was never able to see a gnome session start with x11. Help would be appreciated. If you need more specs, please specify. Cheers, Dave

I'd first check that your .xinitrc is executable. Failing that: http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html dc wrote: Simple Question: How do I get a gnome-session to always start when I startx.
