RH5.1/gnome-session problem

[James Thompson <jamest math ksu edu>]

I didn't find anything in the archives on this.

Redhat 5.1
Gnome 1.0 +

Basically I installed the following
ORBit-0.4.0.tar.gz           glib-1.2.0.tar.gz
gnome-utils-1.0.1.tar.gz     imlib-1.9.4.tar.gz
audiofile-0.1.6.tar.gz       gnome-admin-1.0.1.tar.gz
gnumeric-0.17.tar.gz         libghttp-0.99.2.tar.gz
control-center-1.0.2.tar.gz  gnome-core-1.0.1.tar.gz      gsl-0.3b.tar.gz
libgtop-1.0.1.tar.gz
ee-0.3.8.tar.gz              gnome-core-1.0.3.tar.gz
gtk+-1.2.0.tar.gz            libxml-1.0.0.tar.gz
enlightenment-0.15.0.tar.gz  gnome-games-1.0.1.tar.gz
gtk-engines-0.5.tar.gz       mc-4.5.25.tar.gz
fnlib-0.4.tar.gz             gnome-libs-1.0.3.tar.gz
gtop-1.0.1.tar.gz            xscreensaver-3.07.tar.gz
freetype-1.1.tar.gz          gnome-pim-1.0.1.tar.gz       guile-1.3.tar.gz


This .xinitrc works
#!/bin/sh
# WindowMaker Default .xinitrc
#enlightenment
panel &
exec /usr/local/bin/wmaker
#gnome-session
##

If I change it to 
#!/bin/sh
# WindowMaker Default .xinitrc
#enlightenment
#panel &
#exec /usr/local/bin/wmaker
gnome-session
##

gnome-session runs but doesn't start a window manager

I've tried changing /usr/local/share/default.session and default.wm to
wmaker and enlightenment and neither start.  

If I add gmc to my startup apps via the control center gmc will start but
I still don't have a window manager.

enlightenment was built with defualt options
window maker was built with --with-gnome

Anyone have an idea what to try.  I'd really like to get session
management working.  Thanks.
