What I normally do is set these:

export GDK_USE_XFT=1
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/garnome/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/garnome/lib
startx /path/to/garnome/bin/gnome-session

On some machines where I don't run gdm, I put the above into bash login
script:

case "`tty`" in
/dev/tty[0-9]+)
	whiptail --yesno "Do you want to start GNOME 2.0?" 9 50
	if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
		export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin
		export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gnome/lib
		export GDK_USE_XFT=1
		startx /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
	fi
	;;
esac

and I don't bother with ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc primarily for personal
reasons.

Cheers
