You shouldn't have to change anything to the window-managers file. Gnome
does not contains a window-manager, gnome *is* not a window manager. You
should get your preferable windowmanager running, and then add
'panel &' to your .xsession (if you're running xdm) or .xinitrc (if you're
using startx), and if you want to gsm (the gnome session manager, it's in
package gnome-session). If you add these, remember to put them *before*
any call to a window-manager, or else they wont be started. I'm sure
somebody else can give a better explanation....
