You can run gnome-session, which will automatically launch some programs.
You can then save your X session with the save-session command; but it
will only work on child processes of gnome-session that are session aware.

Try:
windowmanager &
exec gnome-session

in you .Xsession.

You can also run 'panel' on its own if you want. I don't know if the Gnome
Debian packages have 'gmc'. There is also an "intro to Gnome" document
that may be installed - try loading the help browser.

There will be a new Gnome release next week, I don't know how long it will
take to get Debian-packaged. It should have a lot of enhancements and
bugfixes.
