I'm sorry, "dummy Gnome application" doesn't sound too clear to me,
and Google didn't help me either =) Can you perhaps provide an
example?
Start something like the gnome calculator.. What you need is a small
gnome program so that it loads the gnome libs at startup. You can then
kill it.. If you want to you can make a real dummy program only with
gnome_init and a few other functions tha just starts itself and then
exits.

Maybe so. After some googling I came across a GDM speedup tip that I
thought could apply to my situation. I didn't see any visible
improvements though after I followed the steps successfully and
rebooted.

This seems to be just a _gnome_ speed improvement. It doesn't start
gconfd-2, so you have no real _startup_ speed improvement. It may help
on the performance once all gnome libs are loaded though..
