Several other people already mentioned how you should do.
For X, in your Xconfigure file, you should have the mouse session as:

Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "IMPS/2"
    Device      "/dev/gpmdata"

and in your /etc/gpm.conf like:
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=imps2
append=""

Normally, you don't edit /etc/gpm.conf. You can use 'gpmconfig' to
configure gpm interactively. It is easier.
repeat_type means gpm will repeat mouse movement to /dev/gpmdata and
X can read from there. raw means don't translate protocol of the repeated
mouse events. Now, both console and X can work with mouse happily.

I don't use gnome myself but you can read /usr/doc/gnome-session/README.Debian.
basically, at the end of your .xinitrc, you just
/usr/bin/wmaker &
exec /usr/bin/gnome-session

You should pay attention on the '&' at the end of window manager. It has to
be started in the background. Others are just details.
