I'm not sure I understand what you mean... anyway, I hope I do
So, if you want to start gnome when you type startx on your prompt, try to edit your ~/.xinitrc by writing there on the first line gnome-session. This will start gnome when you're trying to start the graphical interface (when you type startx).
In case that you want to start graphical automaticly when you start your computer, you should edit your /etc/tyys file and change the line that starts with ttyv8. On my computer I use KDE and it looks like this:
ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm" xterm on secure
On your computer, I gues that you want to start gdm... then replace "/usr/local/bin/kdm" with the absolute location of your gdm file. You can find it by typing "whereis gdm"
I hope this helped...
Bye !

NAME
Gnome - Perl module for the Gnome libraries
SYNOPSIS
use Gnome;
Gnome->init('myapp');
my $app = new Gnome::App("myapp", "myapp window title");
$app->create_menus({type => 'subtree', label => '_File',
subtree => [
['item', '_Quit', undef, sub {exit}, 'stock', 'Quit'],
]});
my $canvas = new Gnome::Canvas;
$canvas->set_scroll_region(0, 0, 300, 300);
$canvas->set_usize(300, 300);
$canvas->root->new($canvas->root, 'Rect',
x1 => 10, y1 => 10, x2 => 150, y2 => 250,
fill_color => '#0f0ef2', outline_color => 'black');
$app->set_contents($canvas);
$app->show_all;
Gtk->main;
DESCRIPTION
The Gtk module allows Perl access to the widgets and other facilities in the Gnome libraries. You can find more information about Gnome on
http://www.gnome.org. The Perl binding tries to follow the C interface as much as possible, providing at the same time a fully object ori-
ented interface and Perl-style calling conventions.
You will find the reference documentation for the Gnome module in the "Gnome::reference" manpage. More information can be found on
http://gtkperl.org.
