correction for http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html

Hi folks,

on the page
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html, the
portion about the FreeBSD Gnome display reads:

"

The easiest way to start *GNOME* is with *GDM*, the GNOME Display Manager. *
GDM*, which is installed as a part of the *GNOME* desktop (but is disabled
by default), can be enabled by adding gdm_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. Once
you have rebooted, *GNOME* will start automatically once you log in -- no
further configuration is necessary.

*GNOME* may also be started from the command-line by properly configuring a
file named .xinitrc. If a custom .xinitrc is already in place, simply
replace the line that starts the current window manager with one that starts
*/usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session* instead. If nothing special has been done to
the configuration file, then it is enough simply to type:

% echo "/usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc

Next, type startx, and the *GNOME* desktop environment will be started.

*Note:* If an older display manager, like *XDM*, is being used, this will
not work. Instead, create an executable .xsession file with the same command
in it. To do this, edit the file and replace the existing window manager
command with */usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session*:

 % echo "#!/bin/sh" > ~/.xsession
% echo "/usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session" >> ~/.xsession
% chmod +x ~/.xsession

Yet another option is to configure the display"


The correct path for the echo is not /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session, but is
/usr/local/bin/gnome-session as of at least FreeBSD 6.2. How do I go about
submitting this correction to the proper folks?

Thanks!
