It sounds like you have a .xsession or .xinitrc file that starts
your window mamanger and then Gnome: I'm not sure that Gnome will
kill your window manager if it didn't start it.
Try moving them out of the way, like
mv .xsession .xsession.slink
mv .xinitrc .xinitrc.slink
If this doesn't get you a working gnome desktop when you login, try replacing
.xsession and/or .xinit with a file containing just
#!/bin/sh
exec gnome-session
and set it executable; that should work.
