Do you have X running when you do this? Just typing gnome-session on the command line won't work. You need to include it in your .xinitrc. Checkout man xinit (or man startx). If you do have X up, and you're typing this in a xterm, make sure the DISPLAY variable is set correctly, and you have proper permissions on the display (man xhost). I'm shocked, "Al." I thought after inventing the Internet, gnome would be a no-brainer :-).
