I've recently loaded FreeBSD 3.2 on my machine and found I have a problem
using gnome-session.

Under FreeBSD 3.0 (The last version I've tried this on) I've had my xinitrc
simply exec gnome-session and had gnome handle, loading of my window
manager, panel and whatever else.

Under FreeBSD 3.2 that isnt' working, infact, if I do the following in an
xterm:
gnome-session &
gnome-smproxy

the gnome-smproxy fails because it cannot connect to the session manager.

I've checked all the config files I know of for X and gnome and can't find
any problems, I also checked it against My Redhat 6.0 setup and didn't find
any noteable differences.

so my question is: is this a known problem? if yes, is there a fix? if no,
are there any ideas why it is not working for me?

Thanks
-Steve
