Setting gnome as desktop environment in .xsession
Allow me to explain:
In my new workplace, each user can log in from any pc and the complete home folder is loaded to that machine from server. The admins claim that everything we are going to need is already installed on server and thus, we have no root privilege. Whatever I have to do, is in my home folder. My issue is with the desktop-environment.
When I log in, the default desktop-environment is xfce which I am not a big fan of it. On the log in screen we can choose either "Default" or "Custom". I asked one of admins and they said I can select any desktop environment as I want by choosing Custom in my log in screen and I should specify it in my ~/.xsession.
As an example, he said if I want to log in with openbox, I have to write the following in .xsession:
tint2 & exec openbox
and it was working fine. gnome-shell --version tells me that I have GNOME Shell 3.10.4 and I would like to modify my ~/.xsession such that I will be able to log in using gnome3.
What should I add to my .xsession?

The problem is when I do that, they system is very really truly slow. Should I launch it with certain arguments or should I launch other services?

@Pouya, you could check the manual page since there are some parameters that might help (--failsafe for one).
