Maybe some error logs, or even a snip of any error would help ?

What is your locale set to and what do you use to start gnome?

the gnome-session binary should get started from .xinitrc, while kde and xfce4 have a startscript that launch X for you instead. GNOME will come with such a script in a while, because the dbus-launch things that are required for many GNOME apps nowadays causes many problems for people who don't add it to their .xinitrc.

About the locale: make sure you pick one from /etc/locale.gen and have it enabled there. Take note of the UTF8/UTF-8 differences. Some locales work with both write methods, most locales fail with these warnings if you don't pick the locale from /etc/locale.gen.
