gnome won't start

[Ozdemircili Ozgur Civ 425 ABS/SGST]

For the 1st one you need to add the actual LAN or WAN ip address to the
/etc/hosts for example:
10.10.1.1 quasar quasar.bla.net
The 4th one also related to this one.
And 5 You don`t need ssh to use gnome desktop

Subject: gnome won't start


Hi

I've been using FreeBSD 4.7-stable on a PIII box for a while.
I tried  for weeks to get the gnome1.4 desktop running but to no prevails.
The problems i encountered were:

1) when gnome starts, it pop up a diaglog box saying
    " unable to find host adress for.
      please check the file /etc/hosts ...... blah blah blah"
     Then it gave me choices to continue/ try again,
     if i click try again, the diaglog box appear again & if i click 
continue, the blank desktop just freezed

2)  My  /etc/hosts file is OK,  it looks like below:
     ::1		localhost localhost.my.domain
     127.0.0.1 	localhost localhost.my.domain

3) my X11 & windowmaker (Enlightenment) start just  fine, but every time 
when i exit the
    windowmaker, the same situation like problem 1) reappear.

4) the Xserver-error file in my home dir sounds like this:
    Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: No protocol specified
    Gtk-warning **: cannot open display: :0
    SESSION_MANAGER=local/:tmp/.ICE-unix/274

5) do i need Openssh in order to run X11 &/ gnome1.4 ?
    just what's wrong with my gnome desktop ?


Many thanks to those who can help.


regards,
winter.
