I have no experience in this, so all I did was get the packages and installed them directly though setup. Now to run it, I call startgnome. It opens a XWindow, then I see a beautiful picture and it starts to load different desktop components like sawfish etc. Finally it gives the hints window. But after I exit it, I get nothing more and an hourglass sign shows up (and persists forever). I don't get the gnome desktop or anything more. I am not sure if I am supposed to install any of Steven's patches. Can anyone guide me as to what to do. I don't want to mess around too much because I was able to get kde to work, however it is awfully slow and eats up too many resources, I was hoping gnome would be smoother.
