Wait, I am confused... you want to use another window manager than the
one you are currently using, yes? I do not think you do this with gdm,
but with GNOME. If you mean GNOME, then do the following:
1) Install window manager via apt-get
2) Find path of window manager (probably /usr/bin/<window_manager>)
3) Open gconf-editor
4) Go to Desktop -> Gnome -> Applications -> window_manager
5) Edit the values
6) Restart X (log out and in again, or run /etc/init.d gdm restart as root).
