The way the Gnods intended it is to boot gnome by starting
gnome-session from whatever X startup script you use. Without starting
a window manager first. gnome-session will do the rest for you. In
theory.

But many people have problems with this, partly due to bugs, partly
due to non-yet-implemented features, partly due to them making
mistakes. So they use other ways to get the gnome rolling, equally
valid, but less official.
