For the other question take a look at gnome-session[s] manpage, it is really short and descriptive. For session specific, launch gnome-session-properties. The list of things to launch in xstartup or others is for when you use a window manager (e.g., windowmaker, afterstep, twm, etc.) instead of a session manager (some call this a full desktop e.g., gnome).
