I don't know why it does not work for you.
The following should work.
Change /etc/inittab to include:
id:3:initdefault:
Then reboot, login into a virtual terminal and start X yourself using
startx or xinit command. This will surely call your ~/.xinitrc. There
will be no chance GNOME is started unless you do this in your ~/.xinitrc.
Of course there are other ways to achieve this, even in init level 5.

Mikhael.
