  Well, it does and it doesn't.  Under Red Hat, for example, you would just
issue the command

        switchdesk gnome

as that user.  :-)  Slackware might have a similar "easy" way.

  Look for files called $HOME/.Xclients or $HOME/.xinitrc and edit them.  
If none exist, try creating $HOME/.Xclients as follows:

        #!/bin/sh
        exec gnome-session

If that does not work, try creating that as $HOME/.xinitrc instead.

  For further reading, see the manual pages for X(1), Xserver(1), xinit(1),
startx(1), and xdm(1).
