Subject: Shame on me... (Starting GNOME on SuSE Linux 6.0)

Hi,

I made a brief comment on how to start GNOME on SuSE Linux some days ago.

Somehow, this comment even made it to be mentioned in the latest Linux
weekly news (http://lwn.net).

Unfortunately I was wrong. The mentioned shell script does not exist on
6.0. If you want to use GNOME, just start your favourite window manager as
usual. Now you can start GNOME by starting either "gnome-session" (if you
want session management), or "panel" in an xterm. Alternatively, you can
put this command in your ~/.xinitrc, just before starting the window
manager.

Sorry for the inconvenience! Where's my brown paperbag?

	LenZ
