In your home directory create a text file called '.Xclients' and make it
read:
gnome-session
save it and chmod it to make it executable.
--- sample script ---
# - Make X load Gnome instead of KDE
if [ -f $HOME/.Xclients ]; then
rm -f $HOME/.Xclients
fi
echo "gnome-session" > $HOME/.Xclients
chmod 772 $HOME/.Xclients
echo "Now X will load Gnome as your desktop software."
---- end of script ---
