Gnome and Arch Issues Under VirtualBox

[Hunter Jozwiak <potbelliedjazz@xxxxxxx>]

Hi guys:
I've installed Gnome and I don't really want to run it from the 
GDM.  So, I went into the directory /etc/skel/  and have erased 
the comment lines off of exect gnome-session.  When I type 
startx, and press alt+F2 to run and type Orca, nothing seems to 
happen.
Also, I have the VirtualBox guest utilities and have loaded all 
the modules.  Is there an issue here with VirtualBox that I am 
not aware of?
