I am not sure to understand your question. Is it not clear to me what do you want to run. You tell us that you use update-alternatives, that's a good thing but what do you choose for your x-window-manager ? Is it correct to assume that you want to run gnome with another window manager ? If you want to run gnome with another wm and do you want to use the alternative system to set it, I know one problem : there is a gconf field (try with gconf-editor) where you can specify your gnome windoww manager. .gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager If this field is set (to sawfish for example) then the alternative system is ignored.
