Start Gnome in FreeBSD 4.5
I was finally able to get FreeBSD working with X-windows and KDE. I installed Gnome also. However am not given the chance to run Gnome when I type: startx at the command line. KDE seems to be default
How can I run Gnome too?

gtk2::trayicon
TrayIcon(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation TrayIcon(3pm)
NAME
Gtk2::TrayIcon - Perl interface to the EggTrayIcon library
SYNOPSIS
use Gtk2::TrayIcon;
Gtk2->init;
my $icon= Gtk2::TrayIcon->new("test");
my $label= Gtk2::Label->new("test");
$icon->add($label);
$icon->show_all;
Gtk2->main;
ABSTRACT
This module allows a Perl developer to embed an arbitrary widget in a System Tray like the Gnome notification area.
DESCRIPTION
EggTrayIcon is slated for inclusion in Gtk+ at some point, which is the reason the "Gtk2::TrayIcon" namespace. As all egg libs, EggTrayIcon
is not considered api stable and its not installed as a shared object.
Enough about what it is not, "Gtk2::TrayIcon" is first and foremost a simple way of giving a Gtk2 script access to the system tray.
System Trays are found in both KDE and Gnome. But neither support the spec fully (see below).
"Gtk2::TrayIcon" is a subclass of "Gtk2::Plug" and should be used as such.
METHODS
5 methods are available.
$trayicon= Gtk2::TrayIcon->new_from_screen($screen, $name)
This creates a widget already connected to the notification area of $screen. $screen should be a "Gtk::Gdk::Screen".
$trayicon= Gtk2::TrayIcon->new($name)
Like "new_from_screen" but uses the default screen of the active display.
$msgid= $trayicon->send_message($timeout, $message)
Ask the tray to display $message for $timeout milliseconds. If $timeout is 0, the message will not expire.
Note that it is up to the tray to decide what to do with the message both Gnome and KDE just ignores it.
$trayicon->cancel_message($msgid)
Ask the tray to cancel the message.
