If you use startx to get X going, adding the following to ~/.xinitrc will
work:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session
Make sure you chmod +x this file to get it working.
If you're like me, and you use gdm, then I recommend you create a startup
script in /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d called xserver.sh:
#!/bin/sh
PREFIX=/usr/X11R6
case "$1" in
start)
${PREFIX}/bin/gdm
;;
stop)
/usr/bin/killall gdm 2>/dev/null
;;
*)
echo "$0 start | stop"
;;
esac
Yes, you can also modify /etc/ttys to accomplish the same thing, but I
prefer this method.
