How do you login ?
I think it's in console because if you logged in from xdm/gdm/kdm, you
wouldn't have to
type gnome-session.
There are two way to solve this:
edit /etc/inittab as root and change
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:4:initdefault
and reboot
Else,  you should consider starting XFree first (which is what
gnome-session assumes)
so type startx.
You should also post this on slack forum which are much more appropriate
for
distribution related topics.
