"XFree86" seems to execute /just/ X, the server, but not Gnome.
According to the handbook, it should run X with Gnome if I altrer .xinitrc 
appropriately. I did and put on in /root and one in /etc/X11/xinit (or 
something like that) and it seems to completely ignore the entry.

Running "xinit", however, runs Gnove fine. Now, X is working great so not 
problem here, but, why? I just happenned to try 'xinit' as a command for the 
heck of it. I don't understand the whole way X works yet. The only GUI that 
I have used for years is... Well, you know...
