gnome-session is correct, but the first time you should create the session (
ASAIK gnome-session just allows to save the program started in a session
and start next session with the same programs ).
I do it in this way :
1) first time have an .xsession like this :
xterm &
gnome-session
then startx ( o login using xdm [ or similar lohgin manager ] ).
2) from the x-term start :
sawmill & ( or whatever is your WM )
panel &
3) logout using the panel main menu and SAVING THE SESSION
4) edit .xsessione and remove xterm &.
Next time, gnome should start by itselv th WM and the panel.
One could expect a 'default session' to be use the first time ... but that is.
Ciao.
