=========================================================================== $NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.8 2021/04/19 10:49:41 cirnatdan Exp $ GNOME requires sysutils/dbus to be running as a system service before it will start. Make sure XCURSOR_PATH is set to ${PREFIX}/share/icons, e.g. in your ~/.xsession, have the following: export XCURSOR_PATH=${PREFIX}/share/icons exec gnome-session ===========================================================================
