I did that on my redhat7.3:
a) add a new user (gnome2) to my linux system
b) untar garnome in the new user home directory (if you already compile 
every thing you can move garnome dir to the new user home dir) without 
using a directed login (su gnome2)
c) make install from meta/gnome-desktop dir
d) copy Gnome file to Gnome2 in /etc/X11/gde/Sessions dir
e) edit new Gnome2 file as follow
PATH=$HOME/garnome/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=%HOME/garnome/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
GDK_USE_XFT=1
export  PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH GDK_USE_XFT
exec $HOME/garnome/bin/gnome-session

e) logout from my old user
f) login as gnome2 user using gnome2 session

Hope to be useful
