this depends a bit on the desktop environment you are using. I am using
xfce and have load the GNUstep env via $HOME/.config/xfce4/xinitrc. I
use this script also to start services such as gdnc and gpbs. so,
somewhere before the actual window manager is started I have the following:

. /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
/usr/bin/gdnc &
/usr/bin/gpbs &

/usr/bin/make_services
