Here we are. In gdm (as well as in kdm) you have a "Session" menu. The item "Default System Session" will, among other things, execute your .xsession. Obviously, the "GNOME" item will run gnome. There is also an "Ion2" session, so you may not need your .xsession at all. The "default" session will presumably do a few more things than running your .xsession (read /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession to learn more). If your .xsession is very complete, you can create another "custom" session in /etc/dm/Sessions: simply copy default.desktop to custom.desktop and edit this file. Change the "Name"(s) for the language(s) you use into something meaningful, and change "Exec=default" to "Exec=custom" (default, custom and failsafe are "magic" words for Xsession).
