Hello,

After doing a cvsup and a portuprade a few daya ago GDM now dosn't have
GNOME in its session menu. Now whenever I login without choosing a
session it always goes into Failsafe Xterm. In order for me to use GNOME
at all, I have to manually select Failsafe GNOME each time I login using
GDM.

So far I have tried reinstalling gdm2 and gnomesession, and both have
not solved the problem. I am unsure about which other ports to try
reinstalling. I have also checked the FAQ and Known Issues, and I have
not seen any items that seems to offer a solution to my problem.

Does anyone have any suggesions?

I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE. The packages I have installed on my
machine (all of them were compiled from ports) are in the attached file
'pkginfo.txt'. I'll provide more information if requested.


- James
