Customizing Gnome on Macosx

I recently installed Gnome 2.14.0 via fink under Mac OSX (Tiger). I've 
used gnome for many years under various Linux distros. My .xinitrc looks 
like this:

Re: Customizing Gnome on Macosx

I went back and checked I have all the Gnome components installed..looks

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Iain
