I assume you can start XFree86's default window manager twm with
	# startx
Search your system for a file called	xinitrc	 by
  	# locate xinitrc
(It might be somewhere in /etc/X11R6/ or in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/ )
Save the original file by renaming it, p. ex.
	# mv xinitrc xinitrc.old
Then create a new 	xinitrc		file containing the line
	gnome-session
and
	# startx
