to load all your gnome settings, you should use gnome-settings-daemon.
I have recently built an internet kiosk running galeon, using a custom gdm
session (and deleting all others)
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/gdm/Sessions/Kiosk
gnome-settings-daemon &
galeon -f &
exec /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/icewm-gnome
# EOF
your gdm login screen has nothing to do with your user's settings, so just
use the graphical greeter and write your own theme :-)

PS: is there anybody interested in a mini-howto? the kiosk is pretty
secure with icewm restricting many window operations and no xterm on the
box, and extremely robust mounting everything read-only and using tmpfs
(auto-resizing ramdisk) for /tmp /var and /home
