Yes. If you are running GNOME you have probably, though no
necessarily, got gdm - gnome desktop manager. It is the application
that you use to login. If you describe what you have to do to log
in, someone will probably recognise it and can tell you what to do
next to change the desktop you use for that session.
I am about to go out again. When I get back, I'll check how far you
have already got and try to work out how to help you more, if you
still need it. There are others here. ;-)
