A cursory read of /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome leads me to believe that all
you want to do is "cp .Xclients .gnomerc". The $HOME/.gnomerc file is
just sourced like:
if [-f $HOME/.gnomerc]; then
. $HOME/.gnomerc
fi
BTW, the normal user session file should be ~/.xsession not ~/.Xsession,
no? It works for about 90% of everything having to do with starting X
sessions under Debian.
