What version of Gnome?

man gnome-session

/usr/share/gnome/default.session
~/.gnome/session

That will get rid of the file manager but it will not get rid of the
Hints window.  I think you can make that go away if you can successfully
navigate a twisty maze of Gnome panel configuration menus, all alike and
find the screen that configures it.  I don't use Gnome, but I recall
finding this once and I can't find it offhand right now.
