Gnome isn't a window manager, its a "Desktop Environment", I'm not sure what the current favourite window manager to use in the Gnome environment is, I used to use icewm-gnome (currently I'm totally degnomed as I can't see the need for the bloat, I use no gnome apps, there's alternatives for nearly everything). So, if you really don't want window maker, install one of the millions of other different window manglers, I'd suggest trying sawfish. Thanks, Brett.
