I saw this oddity the other day when I was fiddling with my startup scripts. What I learned is : In gdm you can select 'Gnome', 'Debian' or 'Xsession'. Gnome runs ~/.gnomerc during startup. Both Debian and Xsession run ~/.xsession, iff it is executable. The Xsession session will run 'xsm' (and thus twm/fvwm2) as a fallback if ~/.xsession can't be executed. (I don't know about Debian) (now for the confusing part) If you choose Xsession or Debian, have both ~/.gnomerc and ~/.xsession, and ~/.xsession runs 'gnome-session', then when you "log out" gnome starts a second time :-). (at least some of those times I had 'gnome-session' run from ~/.gnomerc as well) If you experience that mystery again, there's some places to look.
