If you meant how to maually set it up, I don't know. You can of course download the xbmc-standalone source and see what it does.

create a .config/autostart directory
in there create a file xbmc.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=XBMC
Comment=Xbox media center
Exec=/usr/bin/xbmc -fs
Icon=xbmc.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application

That would be an autostart under gnome right ?
What I'm looking for is a way to start xbmc right out of gdm, without any wm, a watchdog script would be even be better.

found a way, thx anyway.
create a file called /usr/share/xsessions/xbmc.desktop
after that you can select xbmc from gdm
create a file called /usr/share/xsessions/xbmc.desktop
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=XSession
Exec=xbmc-standalone
TryExec=xbmc-standalone
Name=XBMC
after that you can select xbmc from gdm

You could edit .xsession in your home folder and put this in there:
exec xbmc --standalone
exec xbmc --standalone

.xinitrc
