I believe that startx will launch "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc" if you do
not have a "~/.xinitrc". Put "gnome-session" (no trailing
ampersand, "&") at the end of your personal file, and you should
have Gnome.
Since KDE is Mandrake's default desktop environment, it probably
doesn't have convenient hooks for GNOME; "~/.xinitrc" will hopefully
allow you to activate this manually.
I am guessing a little bit -- I have used Mandrake boxes, but my
personal and lab machines run Red Hat.
Good luck,
