Check to see if the config for GKB uses XKB or Xmodmap.  I'd suggest
using Xmodmap.

You may want to get a new version of GNOME.  Add the following line to
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.debian.org/~vincent/ slink-update main

These will probably be more stable.

For session management edit .xsession in your home directory.   Make
sure that the last command is

gnome-session

This will give you session management.  You proabaly want it as your
only command in .xsession.

Good luck.
