You probably just need to export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS

( in you ~/.xinitrc file )

add the following above the point where you call gnome-session:

export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/usr/etc/xdg

This example assumes that your gnome install is in /usr

you just have to adapt the above line to suit your config

eg.  if you installed gnome in '/opt/gnome-2.10' you would export
something like 'XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/opt/gnome-2.10/etc/xdg'

you can probably find out where you installed it with a 'locate xdg'
command.


Good Luck!

Duncan.
