Are you sure you're using Gnome2???

You can check this with, eg. trying ,,which gnome-session''. It should 
point to your Garnome installation (default is, I believe ~/garnome/bin).

It might be that you haven't set your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly.

Try inserting it in /etc/profile, $HOME/.profile or whatever suitable 
for your run (if using GDM, XDM, KDM in the appropriate files). Use 
something like
export PATH=$HOME/garnome/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/garnome/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This could be done better (and for csh use setenv instead of export), to 
check for the empty variables, but what the heck... it should work this way.
