I left it as GNOME.

However, I've been running Ubuntu since breezy and have always set
the window manager in the $HOME/.xession file. Previous versions of
gdm would allow whatever session was set up in gdm to be overrridden
by the contents of $HOME/.xession. At various times I have run
fluxbox, openbox, enlightenment 17 and xmonad in this way.

The $HOME/.xession file also allows the running of tools like xmodmap,
xrdb and xset. This no longer works with the Karmic version of gdm.
