You're going to need to have something like gnome-session installed (at
least for the way I do things) and place the command:
exec gnome-session
in your .xsession file.
Once gnome-session is running it will take care of loading the window
manager of your choice (in the control center) and the panel as well as
other gnome components and save and reload them as neccessary between
sessions.
ls -al /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager will tell you the default
window manager for the system but you could run your own. ps aux while
X is running will tell you what window managers are running on the
system, typicals are blackbox, sawfish, enlightenment, fvwm, wmaker.
apt-cache search "window manager" should show everything you could have
installed.
