I think that on FC3, /etc/X11/Xsession will be read on default login = 
GNOME session. Also, that file sources files in a similar manner as the 
shell startup files do with /etc/profile.d, as far as I can recall - but 
I forget the actual file name conventions. You should be able to find 
out by inspecting Xsession...
