And use the command "startx" to fire up Gnome.
If you are using gdm (as it appears) don't login as root.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
# locate or which/whereis could not find '.xinitrc'
# locate xinitrc
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
# apt-ge install xbase-clients
showing 'xbase-clients' already installed, the most uptodate version
Added 'exec gnome-session' to
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
logout KDE, rebooted PC and login 'Failsafe Gnome' to start Xterm window
(remark: KDE can start)
# startx
