This should be ~/.xsession, not -/.xsession
Ok I tried a setup on one of my machines to verify if gnome+xdm works:
Log-in as user and do:
> echo "#!/bin/sh" > ~/.xsession
> echo "exec gnome-session" >> ~/.xsession
> chmod +x ~/.xsession
Log in as root and do:
# ee /etc/ttys
change ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
to ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
Reboot the machine:
* Xdm login-screen shows up.
* Log-in as user.
* The Gnome desktop should start up.
Took me 1 minute and gnome was up and running. I'm using 5.3-STABLE #0: Mon
Nov 1 06:38:37 CET / xorg-clients-6.7.0_4 / gnome-session-2.6.2.

If things don't work show us your logs and config-files:
~/.xsession-errors
/var/log/0.log
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
xorg.conf
~/.xsession
/etc/ttys
