I hope this point hasn't already been made, but I saw something earlier that
indicated that all you had to do was exec gnome-session and once that is
running, execute your window manager etc. and shutdown gnome. The next time
you run up your session, gnome-session will start it for you.

I havn't tried this myself, as I am having problems with gnome-session.

Any good to you?
