GNOME 3 startx

paragraph 7.2.2.4 in the handbook(4th edition) says you can start GNOME 3 with startx. It doesn't work. There is no bare command line to use startx. Does anybody know anything about this?
 
For the GNOME on Xorg session, add to the
Code:
~/.xinitrc
file

Code:
export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
export GDK_BACKEND=x11
exec gnome-session

After editing this file, GNOME can be launched with the
Code:
startx
command.
 
Looking at the 7.2.2.4 (https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/desktop/#gnome-start), it has all required info (below). Do you need anything else?

The reason there are 2 threads on the same subject is that I have been working with web9452 on this. We thought one of the messages didn't post.

Merging the two threads is going to get really messy. So I'm just going to close this one, the other thread has more information.
