because KDE uses is own integrated window manager (called kwm or something)

BUt thæt said, you are right, there should be a nice an simple way of enabling
gnome for debian. This way you should choose the windowmanager in the first
line of /etc/X11/window-managers and enable gnome or not, in some other file.

And if such a thing already exists, it should be well documented.
