When I start a gnome-session, it only leads to fluxbox, no gnome

[Infohawk]

If I go into another terminal and type gnome-bar or whatevre then it starts. but I want to be able to start gnome from kdm with the normal gnome bar and desktop started, not just fluxbox.


Right now I have kdm installed with fluxbbox enlightenment and kde and gnome. KDE and enlightenment go to their respective 'feels' but the gnome-session leads to a simbple fluxbox feel.

Any suggestions how to load gnome with the standard bar and so forth?

I'm on debian too.

i believe you should edit your xinitrc file

try:
vi /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

then add this to the bottom of the file:
exec gnome-session
and comment out whatever is in there, like exec fluxbox

I'm pretty sure what pimpholic said was incorrect, but I don't really have an answer for you. I would start looking for files like .gnome-session in your home directory and see what settings are in there.
