I'm afraid this may not directly answer your question (because I am not 
familiar with Gnome) but this is how it works for Fluxbox:

I start my apps by placing them in ~/.fluxbox/startup (I use fluxbox as a WM).  
So, I place the dockapps that I want starting before the /usr/bin/fluxbox 
command therein:
====================================
wmpower &
wmnd &

# And last but not least we start fluxbox.
# Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.

exec /usr/bin/fluxbox
====================================

Is there perhaps an equivalent in Gnome?
