I tried simply adding the gnomesession package. It brought up gnome with the twm window manager. Solution ended up being to pkg_delete gnome2 and pkg_add -r gnome I now have Gnome 1.4 running successfully. And editing .xinitrc only works if you are running an X server locally. Since I am exporting the display, it won't do anything. (My display is running on an XP box) I did rather want Gnome 2, but it appears that the packages are rather nastily broken., am going to try it from ports later (After I cvsup my ports tree).
