You may want to try newer packages. In slink, there is gnome 0.3, but
there is gnome 1.0 available. Make sure you install gnome-panel.

Add the folowing line to /etc/apt/sources.list and use apt as the
access method in dselect:

deb http://www.debian.org/~jim/debian-gtk-gnome/gnome-stage-slink unstable main

Create a file .xsession in your homedirectory.

I use 

xterm -ls -geometry 80x24+0+63 &
xterm -ls -geometry 80x24+515+63 &   
/usr/bin/X11/fvwm2 &
/usr/bin/panel

Alternatively, you could just use the line

gnome-session
