This is how I start my GNOME2 install.  I just edit my .bash_profile
script to add $HOME/garnome/bin to PATH, $HOME/garnome/lib to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and set GDK_USE_XFT=1 and export them all.  Then add an
entry to .xinitrc for the Garnome GNOME2 install like this: 

# GNOME 2
exec $HOME/garnome/bin/gnome-session

Then just run startx to start the X server.
