using MacPorts 1.7.0_rc1 to install gnome (sudo port -d install gnome) I got this error --> Activating gnome-session @2.24.1_0 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop is being used by the active gdm port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

I did sudo port -df activate gnome-session and then resumed the install with sudo port -d install gnome was this correct?

I guess whether it will work or not depends on what the gnome.desktop file does. In any case, gdm and/or gnome-session need to be modified so they don't conflict.
