            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

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?
