Yes, you can make a gnome start script that looks something like the
following.  Then run this script instead of gnome-session to start
Gnome.

#!/bin/sh
cd ${HOME}
exec > .gnomelog 2>&1
xterm -e tail -f .gnomelog &
gnome-session

You could move the xterm startup to gnome-sessions list of programs to
start at startup, and maybe replace it with something better.
