I have the exact same problem. My .Xclients file is
exec /usr/bin/gnome-session

But this does not work. I read the /usr/doc/gdm/gdm-manual.txt file. It
mentions the sessions directory in /etc/X11/gdm. In the sessions directory
Defaults is a link to gnome. gnome contains the line
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession gnome

Still gdm always starts the fvwm window manager
