Re: Gnome-desktop fails

well, I fixed it, and gnome-desktop built today. the problem was I had run this silly little thing http://xanana.ucsc.edu/xtal/Xterminator/ to set up display variables for launching x11 progs from the command line, and it does a little overkill, adding stuff to .bashrc, .kshrc, .cshrc, and .bash_profile that prints output without checking for interactivity. once I silenced this stuff all was well.
