Well, if I remember back to my pre-XFce4 days, doesn't GDM read
.gnomerc?  Have you tried using that file?

Now, I don't use GDM, but I'm trying to trace it.  Shouldn't it use
/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/GNOME if it runs Gnome?  If so, that exec's
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession with gnome as the arg.  Looking at Xsession, it
looks like .Xresources, .Xmodmap, and .Xkbmap should be read.  If they
aren't read...I guess I don't know how GDM works (big possibility), and
could someone tell me how they are.
