$echo "exec gnome-session" > ~/.xsession This will do the trick, assuming that you haven't got this dotfile set up already, in which cause you should emacs it (or vi it, or even edit it). You could switch to E once inside GNOME using the control-centre. You could also apt-get install gdm; that will give you the option of either booting into a GNOME session or a Debian session (i.e. the default one, using .xsession if it exists), or even more sessions (like kde pr every wmanager available).
