gdm uses scripts in /etc/gdm/Sessions. If you start Xsession or Debian 
from gdm, ~/.xsession is used. You could start gnome by starting 
Xsession and having "exec gnome-session" as last line in your .xsession 
file.

gnome defaults are in /etc/gnome and uses system default window manager 
specified in /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager. Your specific gnome 
window manager would be in ~/.gnome/wm-properties/Config.
