Help with Gnome

I'd be really grateful if someone out there would help me with this problem.

Running OS X v. 10.4.2

Installed:
(1) Apple's X11 server (with SDK) public beta 3.
(2) Fink and Fink Commander v. 0.5.
(3) Gnome budle 1.4-13.

Changed .xinitrc to read:
exec /sw/bin/gnome-session-real

Effect:
On starting X11, the Gnome splash screen appears and the mouse icon changes to the familiar X, but the Gnome toolbar never appears. Clicking any portion of the screen reverts control to the native wm. Launching an X11 app works, but windows do not have borders or menu-bars.

Tried running Gnome as above, but from the Xterm. Got the following messages:

sh: gnome-login-check: command not found
_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root
SESSION_MANAGER=local/Nathan-Joness-Computer.local.:/tmp/.ICE-unix/1355

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds: returning -1

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Solved:

I modified .xinitrc by adding the following line near the beginning of the file, before any programs are launched:

. /sw/bin/init.sh

Works great now!
