Is this http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/FAQ.php#gnome2 used as gnome.sh?
Yeah, that's the gnome.sh script (though I'd modified it somewhat). It shouldn't be required anymore, however, since the GeoXPlanet.py script should handle it. Do you get any error output if you launch the main script from a terminal? Look in the GeoXPlanet-0.3.3 directory and tell me if the script is generating two images (should be GeoXPlanet0.jpg and GeoXPlanet1.jpg). If those files exist after you run the script, then something is wrong with setting the background. If they don't exist, then something is going wrong during launching xplanet. Check to make sure you have gnome=True (under "General") and useXEarth=False (under "XPlanet") set in your GeoXPlanet.conf and post any errors you get here.

Just out of curiousity, has anyone tried out setting up the MaxMind database? I'd like to know if the README is clear enough on that...
