After you finished with the build. Be sure to update it again by
'marcusmerge -u' then update your installed ports. I have fixed a few
stuff in there recently. I now have fully desktop function after
installed the x11/gnome3 and x11/xorg. Still more stuff that need to
be fixed.

The gnome-shell can be installed if you want it by enable
WITH_GNOME_SHELL=yes in x11/gnome3. I don't have any issue with
gnome-shell, but kwm has issues. The gnome-shell requires a good video
driver. I am using nvidia-driver. kwm has, I think, ati driver. The
gnome-session will check if your video driver is good or bad. If bad,
it will fall back to classic session like GNOME 2 with metacity and
gnome-panel. If you don't install gnome-shell, it will fall back to
classic session too.

ports module. It is default in the marcusmerge script, so all you have
to do at the first checkout.

sh marcusmerge

To update it:

sh marcusmerge -u

That's it.

Cheers,
