Just put "exec gnome-session" in your .xinitrc (or the system's xinitrc,
if you are feeling bold).

I should elaborate a bit more, because there's been some confusion.
Here's the last two lines of my own .xinitrc:

exec fvwm &
exec gnome-session

(your own window manager may differ)
All lines except the very last one (this is true in general for
xinitrc files) should have an & at the end.
This configuration is set to quit XDarwin when you quit GNOME.  If you
reverse the order:

exec gnome-session &
exec fvwm

then quitting GNOME leaves the window manager and X running.
