Help with installing Gnome on FreeBSD
Recently, i have installed FreeBSD 5.3 on my computer. I then proceeded to install the latest version of Gnome. I went to the FreeBSD handbook and looked up how to set Gnome as my default window manager, and for some reason it did not work. I was wondering what exactly the command is to do set gnome as default.

NAME
Gnome - Perl module for the Gnome libraries
SYNOPSIS
use Gnome;
Gnome->init('myapp');
my $app = new Gnome::App("myapp", "myapp window title");
$app->create_menus({type => 'subtree', label => '_File',
subtree => [
['item', '_Quit', undef, sub {exit}, 'stock', 'Quit'],
]});
my $canvas = new Gnome::Canvas;
$canvas->set_scroll_region(0, 0, 300, 300);
$canvas->set_usize(300, 300);
$canvas->root->new($canvas->root, 'Rect',
x1 => 10, y1 => 10, x2 => 150, y2 => 250,
fill_color => '#0f0ef2', outline_color => 'black');
$app->set_contents($canvas);
$app->show_all;
Gtk->main;
DESCRIPTION
The Gtk module allows Perl access to the widgets and other facilities in the Gnome libraries. You can find more information about Gnome on
http://www.gnome.org. The Perl binding tries to follow the C interface as much as possible, providing at the same time a fully object ori-
ented interface and Perl-style calling conventions.
You will find the reference documentation for the Gnome module in the "Gnome::reference" manpage. More information can be found on
http://gtkperl.org.
