I think it should be gnome-session
After you run this, what are the last messages you get to the console? (If
you're in X you'll need to press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get there, and
Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back)
Also, try running:
xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
and from that xterm try running gnome-session, gnome-wm , panel , or
whatever.
One other thing is the olde gnome config files in your home directory may
be problematic to some newer versions.
