Whilst I now just have "gnome-session" in mine, I had
wmaker &
gnome-session

in mine for months. The only thing I found was that closing
GNOME via foot->desktop->logout  would leave my wmaker-set 
background still there and I'd have to control-alt-backspace.
However, I leave X running for weeks and months at a time, 
so this was rarely a problem for me :) 

Eventually I wondered what would happen without the "wmaker &"
line and discovered, um, I hadn't needed it all along. Ahem.
