Bug ID: 248069
Summary: x11/gnome3-lite requires gdm to run
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: gnome at FreeBSD.org
Reporter: jwb at freebsd.org
Flags: maintainer-feedback?(gnome at FreeBSD.org)

Trying to test a basic gnome3-lite installation using startx and the following
at the end of .xinitrc:
export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
export GDK_BACKEND=x11
exec gnome-session
Xorg starts, but I just get a black screen.
After pkg install gdm, startx works fine.
I noticed that gdm depends on polkit-gnome, so I tried that alone and found it
was not sufficient.
Maybe gdm should be added to RUN_DEPENDS for gnome3-lite?
