GNOME/WindowMaker/SuSE Linux Problems

ulissesr asks: "After purchasing the SuSE 6.1 version of Linux, I installed my preferred window manager (WindowMaker) and GNOME. Now, each time I try to initialize GNOME (gnome-session) under WindowMaker (let's say, in xterm) i get the following error: "Unable to connect to server port 35091". I tried to initialize the esound daemon (esd) by putting a call to it in my ~/.xinitrc file, but i get an /dev/dsp error too. My sound card, is a Creative Labs Sound Blaster PCI 64, w/ the ess 1370 chipset. Is there anyway i can run GNOME under WindowMaker with this hardware configuration?"
