Very Computer

When I start X, of course I get the twm.
According to the handbook, I have to link to /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session
Such doesn't exist.
Installed 4.7 from scratch and immediately pkg_add -r gnome2
This downloaded and installed quite a few packages and in that directory,
there are some 30 gnome binaries, but no gnome-session.

Any idea?

/usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session

You actually have to add it manually I believe.

$pkg_add -r gnomesession

My friend just had the same problem like 2 days ago.  And that was his
conclusion.
But yeah, It *should've* been there automatically?!?

Should. Actually, works. No, doesn't really.
It starts Gnome with twm.
No problem: get sawfish, my preferred wm.
Now this f----- installed Gnome 1.4

And I repeat: it was a fresh install.
These guys give incomplete HowTos:
"To install GNOME 2.2 from packages, use the command:
# pkg_add -r gnome2
This will download the latest GNOME 2.2 packages from the FreeBSD FTP
site, and proceed to install them on your system"
is a lie. It installs *some* Gnome2-packages.

I'm starting to get sick of this.
