    150         If you are not using <application>GDM</application> to start your
    151         <application>GNOME</application> desktop, you will need to invoke
    152         <command>gnome-session</command> <emphasis>instead of</emphasis> invoking
    153         a window-manager directly.  All of the packages in the 'Desktop' section of
    154         this chapter need to be installed first, and some of the 'Applications' -
    155         particularly <application>GNOME Terminal</application>
    156         (<application>xterm</application> does not  install a '.desktop' file and
    157         so not appear in the menus).
    158       </para>
    159 
    160       <para>
    161         When <command>gnome-session</command> is run, it invokes the necessary
    162         daemons and either <application>Metacity</application> or
    163         <application>gnome-shell</application>. A desktop manager such as
    164         <application>GDM</application> will invoke <application>ConsoleKit</application>
    165         before the window manager, but if you use <command>startx</command> the first
    166         invocation after booting may fail because the daemon is not already running,
    167         so it is invoked first.

    170       <para>
    171         To automatically start the <application>gnome-session</application>
    172         window manager when you issue the <command>startx</command> command,
    173         backup your current <filename>~/.xinitrc</filename> before proceeding.
    174         Note that you will be able to invoke <application>GNOME Terminal</application>
    175         from the menu, so there is no reason to invoke <command>xterm</command> here.
    176         Create a new <filename>.xinitrc</filename> using this command:
