Introduction
============
The gnome-session package only takes care of installing minimal GNOME
libraries. For a satisfying GNOME user experience, it is advised to
install at least the following packages:
$ sudo pkg_add \
eog \
file-roller \
gdm \
gedit \
gnome-audio \
gnome-control-center \
gnome-keyring \
gnome-power-manager \
gnome-system-monitor \
gnome-terminal \
gnome-utils
Login into GNOME
================
Login can be made using the GNOME Login Manager: GDM. Or you can add the
following line corresponding to your login preference:
exec ${LOCALBASE}/bin/ck-launch-session ${TRUEPREFIX}/bin/gnome-session
in ~/.xinitrc when using startx(1)
in ~/.xsession when using xdm(1)
A note about accessibility
==========================
Dependency on a11y packages is never enforced so to activate an
assistive technology you need to explicitely install the corresponding
package (see "Accessibility" under the "Installing more package" section
below).
