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. AUTHOR
