GNOME is a DE (Desktop Environment). It "does more" than a plain
old wm (window manager). Because it does more, it's thicker, uses
more RAM (and CPU if you turn on all the fancy stuff that's really
only suitable for not-yet-grownups).
The standard GNOME window manager is Metacity (rhymes with capacity).
KDE is the other popular Unix DE.
