Gnome is not a wm; so, regardles of your wm, Gnome would always be run.

You can tell me what do you want first; eg: changing the appearance (?)
If you wanted to select either one of Sawfish, Metacity, Enlightenment,
or any other wm's, you could use that config command. That would mostly
change the appearance of your window frames (eg: title bar, resize bar).
If you wanted to change the look of the icons, you could select one of
the Gnome themes; it's in the Applications/Desktop Preferences/Theme.
BTW, wm's have selectable themes too.
