I like starting by box in runlevel 3 and using startx to get the desktop running. I created .xinitrc with the contents being "exec gnome-session"; the desktop starts, but gnome-shell loops consuming 145% of 2 cpus. Needless to say, the system isn't very usable.

If I run init 5, and go thru gdm, the desktop runs fine, but I'm trying to eliminate unnecessary processes, and I really don't want to run gdm.

Can someone share the spell that will get Gnome running correctly using startx?

Thanks,

John
