Firstly, look into your home directory to see if there exists ".xinitrc" 
(with a dot before the name). If it�s there, modify it (I explain it 
below). If not, then the modification should be performed on 
"/etc/X11/Xinit/xinitrc" (I didn�t misspelled it, there�s no dot before 
xinitrc in this case).
Once you know what file to modify, cd to that directory and do "pico 
<file>", where <file> is the file to modify.
Go to the end on the file and edit it to see something like this:

# start some nice programs

#twm &
#xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
#exec xterm -geometry 80x50+0+0 -name login
exec gnome-session
#exec xfwm

The modification is to enter the "exec gnome-session" line and comment 
out the rest after "# start some nice programs".

Good luck!
