gnome-wm is only used if you don't have a session file. gnome-session
copy the default session file (/usr/share/gnome/default.session) in
~/.gnome2/session and gnome-wm is the default window-manager in that
file.

You need to edit your session with the gnome-control-center or nautilus
(advanced setting --> Sessions) and replace wmaker by what you want.
