i guess www.gnome.org would be the general starting point..

if you just want to start gnome when you "startx" touch a file named
.xsession and edit it.. try the line "exec gnome-session" first.. if
sawmill/sawfish doesn't start (that's the case with a stock 2.2 release)
then add the line "sawmill &" before the "exec..." line in .xsession..
(don't do that in ximian gnome, though, cause it slows down the
startup.. sawfish is loaded automagically in ximian..)

hope that helps.. have fun..
