I have recently installed Debian, (Yes, I DID it!) :) , and had my X session running fine. I was able to run GMC, from WindowMaker, but would prefer to start up Gnome automatically. Having done a fair bit of reading, :) , including http://www.newriders.com/debian/html/noframes/node76.html, I added .xsession to my home directory, and included "exec gnome-session". Gnome dutifully started as prompted, without any title bars or buttons. I could not move windows with Alt-mouse, nor call up the right mouse title bar menu. I would really like to get this running properly, and am very interested in Debian, especially the advantages of the apt-get syntax. I have previous experience with Red Hat, Mandrake, Caldera, Corel, and have even played with Slackware, Suse (older version), Peanut, Stormix, and Progeny. Nice having a fast download at work where I can burn CD's. :) Back to my question, would someone please tell me how to get Gnome running in all its splendour, including title bars, etc. TIA,
