Hi.

I found the following hack to turnaround this problem.

I created a file in /etc/X11/Xsession.d named 50xfree86-gnomerc which
contains the following :

if [ -f $HOME/.gnomerc ]
then
   . $HOME/.gnomerc
fi

I think it should be better to add some verification that the current
session is indeed a gnome one, but I had no time to figure out how to do
it :(

I think this should be a quick way to restore the .gnomerc handling.

Btw, I needed to have a .gnomerc in order to be able to launch q-agent
in the very beginning of the gnome session, to be sure that inherited
terminals may safely use q-client (a bit the same way as ssh-agent is
used).

Hope this helps.
