Re: your problem, are you running X from startx? It may well be that gnome is expecting to be run from gdm but I'm not sure.
The aim of the exercise is to set up an account for another user, and the problem arose when he started the session from GDM. I'm connecting by ssh, so can never be sure that what I see when I test things is the same as what the user at the console sees. gnome-session looks good when I run it over ssh, so I've edited the .xsession as Brett suggested and crossed my fingers.
