If you go digging through the v0.20 directions on the gnome website,
you'll be shown to add the following statement's to your xwindow's
startup file.
Here's how I've modified my /etc/X11/Xsession:
# the following lines are added to startup GNOME:
background-properties --init &
keyboard-properties --init &
mouse-properties --init &
panel &
# the following is at the very end of Xsession - unmodified !
if [ -x $startup ] && grep -q
^allow-user-xsession /etc/X11/config; then
exec $startup
else
xterm -ls &
if [ -e /etc/X11/window-managers ]; then
for i in `sed 's/#.*//' /etc/X11/window-managers`; do
if [ -x $i ]; then
exec $i
fi
done
fi
exec twm
fi
