I've done some more tinkering and this is what I have so far: - I start with xterm when I run startx - the pull-down menus appear to work - I can change settings, such as the desktop background, through Control Center - the display still insists it's at 1280 x 1024 when it's supposed default to 1024 x 768, but I can change it with xrandr - at the suggestion of several sources, including what was on the URLs I sent, I added the following to /etc/fstab: proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 I'm not sure if that made any difference (I recall having to add something like that in earlier versions of FreeBSD/Gnome, but that didn't seem to be necessary for my other installations) - I'm able to run applications such as Firefox and VLC, but those were already installed and configured under Xfce - external drives, such as a USB stick, don't appear to mount - I can drag windows, files, and directories, but the response is slow I also got this following message in the xterm window: ** (mate-settings-daemon:868): WARNING **: <system time>: There was a problem when setting QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1: GDBus.Error:org.gnome.SessionManager.NotInInitialization: Setenv interface is only available during the Initialization phase This libgtop was complied on FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p5 amd64 If you see strange problems caused by it, you should recompile kibgtop and dependent applications. [1544066549,000,xklavier.c:xkl_engine_start_listen/] I'm not sure what to make of it. I appear to be making some progress, but I'm not sure what else to check. Close, but no cigar, as they say. B. M.
