Gantt view on default page

Question

I'm trying to put gantt view of the list on the default page of the site. For common views, i'm using module with the default.aspx page and view i need this way:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="DefaultPage">
    <File Url="default.aspx" Path="DefaultPage\default.aspx" IgnoreIfAlreadyExists="TRUE">
        <View List="Lists/TestList" BaseViewID="1" WebPartZoneID="Left" WebPartOrder="1">
            <![CDATA[
                <webParts>
                    <webPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v3">
                        <metaData>
                            <type name="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.XsltListViewWebPart,Microsoft.SharePoint,Version=14.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" />
                            <importErrorMessage>Cannot import this Web Part.</importErrorMessage>
                        </metaData>
                        <data>
                            <properties>
                                <property name="Title" type="string">Test</property>
                                <property name="AllowConnect" type="bool">True</property>
                                <property name="ChromeType" type="chrometype">TitleOnly</property>
                                <property name="AllowClose" type="bool">False</property>
                            </properties>
                        </data>
                    </webPart>
                </webParts>
            ]]>
        </View>
    </File>
</Module>

but if I use the same code for gantt view (by changing BaseViewID) i get a common grid view, not a gantt view. I googled and found out that i need to use ListViewWebPart instead. I tried the following module:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="DefaultPage">
    <File Url="default.aspx" Path="DefaultPage\default.aspx" IgnoreIfAlreadyExists="TRUE">
        <View List="Lists/TestList" BaseViewID="9" WebPartZoneID="Left" WebPartOrder="1">
            <![CDATA[
         <WebPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2">
              <Assembly>Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c</Assembly>
              <TypeName>Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ListViewWebPart</TypeName>
              <Title>Gantt view</Title>
         </WebPart>
  ]]>
        </View>
    </File>
</Module>

where Lists/TestList is a task list and BaseViewID="9" - gantt view. but i still get a common grid view (table instead of the diagram) on the default.aspx page How can tell ListViewWebPart to render my view as a Gantt view?

UPD: To make the above code work, just need to add Type="GANTT" in the view definition:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
        <Module Name="DefaultPage">
            <File Url="default.aspx" Path="DefaultPage\default.aspx" IgnoreIfAlreadyExists="TRUE">
                <View List="Lists/TestList" BaseViewID="9" Type="GANTT" WebPartZoneID="Left" WebPartOrder="1">
                <![CDATA[
                 <WebPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2">
                      <Assembly>Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c</Assembly>
                      <TypeName>Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ListViewWebPart</TypeName>
                      <Title>Gantt view</Title>
                 </WebPart>
                ]]>
                </View>
            </File>
        </Module>
    </Elements>

or use the code suggested by Remko

If you save a site that has a page on it that contains this Gannt view, you can import this exported solution in Visual Studio and see how SharePoint provisions the Gannt view.

This is an example from SP2103

        <View List="Lists/Taken" DisplayName="" Url="" DefaultView="FALSE" BaseViewID="8" Type="GANTT" WebPartOrder="0" WebPartZoneID="Left" ContentTypeID="0x" ID="g_0da33d7c_382a_4a9f_8bf3_7a4298c4df99" Hidden="TRUE"><![CDATA[<WebPart xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2">
