Hi,
I have installed cygwin in my system (from a mirror site in cygwin.com)
with the entire GNOME package. Still I am not being able to
open the GNOME desktop in my machine. As far as I know it should come up
if I invoke 'startx' from the shell.
Do I need to do anything else to bring up GNOME ?
Any comments/suggestions are welcome.
Gnome is not complete, there are missing lot of basic parts. Currently
we try to update to Gnome 2.10., however there are so much packages and
only two maintainer (volunteeers with package building experience
needed!). Unfortunatley the desktop 2.10. is not ready to release, as
long as I cannot start it myseklf it woud be not right to upload the
packages.
