<para>
If you are not using <application>GDM</application> to start your
<application>GNOME</application> desktop, you will need to invoke
<command>gnome-session</command> <emphasis>instead of</emphasis> invoking
a window-manager directly. All of the packages in the 'Desktop' section of
this chapter need to be installed first, and some of the 'Applications' -
particularly <application>GNOME Terminal</application>
(<application>xterm</application> does not install a '.desktop' file and
so not appear in the menus).
</para>
<para>
When <command>gnome-session</command> is run, it invokes the necessary
daemons and either <application>Metacity</application> or
<application>gnome-shell</application>. A desktop manager such as
<application>GDM</application> will invoke <application>ConsoleKit</application>
before the window manager, but if you use <command>startx</command> the first
invocation after booting may fail because the daemon is not already running,
so it is invoked first.
</para>
<para>
To automatically start the <application>gnome-session</application>
window manager when you issue the <command>startx</command> command,
backup your current <filename>~/.xinitrc</filename> before proceeding.
Note that you will be able to invoke <application>GNOME Terminal</application>
from the menu, so there is no reason to invoke <command>xterm</command> here.
Create a new <filename>.xinitrc</filename> using this command:
