What should I write to get, say, gnome?



gdm

You mean write

exec gdm

to ~/.xinitrc ?

It does not work.

Please remember that I'm asking what to write in that file so that "startx"
starts gnome - your
answer is what is written in:

/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager:DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"

and is used in runlevel 5 - what is not what we are talking here.
