Problem with gnome_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf

[Hilt, Ian]

I tried enabling all GNOME services with gnome_enable="YES" in the
/etc/rc.conf file. However, this did not start any programs referenced
by this web page
<http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#full-gnome>. This page
didn't help much in the way of troubleshooting. It seemed pretty
straightforward; set gnome_enable="YES" and it should start all of
GNOME's services. I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious.

Here's 'uname -a' output:
