When you say "running from a command line" do you mean a term started
from your WM?

There is an environment variable (SESSION_MANAGER) set by gnome-session,
and since you are starting your WM before this it (and things run by it
(your xterm)) do not know about the session manager (this is what the 
window manager cappet is for).

So, if you set up the window manager capplet things should work how you
expect them (i think).
