X11/KDE/Gnome Accounting Packages?

Woodgie2 · #1 January 6th, 2004, 04:50 PM

I don't suppose anyone could point me in the direction of a decent Open Source (read: 'Free'. 'Cos I'm cheap, you'll see the irony soon...) accounting package? I'm not really in need of anything as featureful as MYOB yet and would rather get a feel for the genre before splashing out cash.

I'm assuming that there is going to be a greater likelyhood of there being a KDE/Gnome/X11 package than a Cocoa/MacOSX one, so this looked like the place to post.

Talking of which, just how DO you get gnome to start up under X11, I can get KDE to do it with this in my .xinitrc file:
export KDEWM=/sw/bin/kwin
exec quartz-wm --only-proxy &
exec /sw/bin/startkde
but I can't seem to find how to get the same results with Gnome. All this compiled and installed using the ever groovy Fink, of course.

In your .xinitrc file put:

Code:

source /sw/bin/init.sh

somewhere at the beginning and

Code:

exec gnome-session

at the end.

This should launch Gnome if you have everything correctly installed.
