Hi folks,

Gnome seems case-sensitive???

everything is.


Which pair executables starting GNOME???
a) /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome
  /etc/gdm/Sessions/Xsession

b) /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome
  /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession

c) /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome
  /etc/X11/Xsession
Everything you find in /etc has to do with configuration files, not executables.
Have a look at the file system: http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_intro/sect_03_01.html scroll down to section 3.1/3.2. You get better at finding stuff if you know where to look. 

Gnome is started by /usr/bin/gnome-session. On the command line you type
"startx /usr/bin/gnome-session" .
