I have installed metacity, bundle-gnome, gnome-desktop and gnome-session using fink and I have created a .xinitrc file containing the lines (as indicated in the corresponding fink page, http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/bundle-gnome):

I would advise against creating an ~/.xinitrc file since that will cause
some things to not run on startup that are desired (hence the warning
message). You should instead create a ~/.xinitrc.d directory and put
that into a ~/.xinitrc.d/99-gnome.sh file that is executable.

It sounds like xterm is your app_to_run, and gnome is hanging. try
looking in /var/log/system.log
