SLiM and GNOME?

I've read through the forums and the howto on the Wiki, but I can't seem to get SLiM to work with GNOME. I can get SLiM up and running and login, but it returns to the login page and doesn't do much else.

This is my slim.log:

Doesn't appear to be much help...

Where else can I check to see what's going on? This is my slim.conf:

# Path, X server and arguments (if needed)
# Note: -xauth $authfile is automatically appended
default_path        ./:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
default_xserver     /usr/bin/X
xserver_arguments   -nolisten tcp vt07

# Commands for halt, login, etc.
halt_cmd            /sbin/shutdown -h now
reboot_cmd          /sbin/shutdown -r now
console_cmd         /usr/bin/xterm -C -fg white -bg black +sb -T "Console login" -e /bin/sh -c "/bin/cat /etc/issue; exec /bin/login"
#suspend_cmd        /usr/sbin/suspend

# Full path to the xauth binary
xauth_path         /usr/bin/xauth 

# Xauth file for server
authfile           /var/run/slim.auth


# Activate numlock when slim starts. Valid values: on|off
numlock             off

# Hide the mouse cursor (note: does not work with some WMs).
# Valid values: true|false
# hidecursor          false

# This command is executed after a succesful login.
# you can place the %session and %theme variables
# to handle launching of specific commands in .xinitrc
# depending of chosen session and slim theme
#
# NOTE: if your system does not have bash you need
# to adjust the command according to your preferred shell,
# i.e. for freebsd use:
# login_cmd           exec /bin/sh - ~/.xinitrc %session
login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session

# Commands executed when starting and exiting a session.
# They can be used for registering a X11 session with
# sessreg. You can use the %user variable
#
# sessionstart_cmd    some command
# sessionstop_cmd    some command

# Start in daemon mode. Valid values: yes | no
# Note that this can overridden by the command line
# option "-d"
# daemon    yes

# Available sessions (first one is the default).
# The current chosen session name is replaced in the login_cmd
# above, so your login command can handle different sessions.
# see the xinitrc.sample file shipped with slim sources
sessions            gdm

# Executed when pressing F11 (requires imagemagick)
screenshot_cmd      import -window root /slim.png

# welcome message. Available variables: %host, %domain
welcome_msg         Welcome to %host

# shutdown / reboot messages
shutdown_msg       The system is halting...
reboot_msg         The system is rebooting...

# default user, leave blank or remove this line
# for avoid pre-loading the username.
#default_user        simone

# current theme, use comma separated list to specify a set to 
# randomly choose from
current_theme       fingerprint,slim-archlinux,flat,mindlock,parallel-dimensions

# Lock file
lockfile            /var/lock/slim.lock

# Log file
logfile             /var/log/slim.log

And I've setup SLiM to start as per the inittab method on the Arch wiki (here)

Re: SLiM and GNOME?

Uhh, did you modify your .xinitrc so it says

exec gnome-session

instead of wmaker?

No, I hadn't. But that's what the problem was. It's a pity that isn't mentioned in the wiki!

Will add it now methinks. ^_^
