ok with me I had GNOME set the WM to E (the default) but I was running
WindowMaker (I did not follow instructions) I removed the line for
WindowMaker and I had no WM.

Unfortunately I cannot recall, but I think it had something to do with
the file used or the command used 

Now it works with exec gnome-session in .Xclients <with no .xinitrc>
gnome selects the WM and everything
