Although I haven't check recent distributions, on my KRUD installation (re:
RH 6.2) I can still just set the window manager in the .wm_style
congiguration file in my $HOME directory. Alternatively (and the method I
actually use), you can edit your .Xclients file and stuff the window
manager in there. I do this because I don't want KDE or GNOME running and
using .Xclients lets me circumvent them.

another way is to edit or create your .xinitrc file, and add the line:
<br>exec /usr/bin/X11/gnome-session
<br>or the like. The above will run gnome by default, replacing gnome-session
with startkde will run kde, etc
<br>You can also try starting with xdm, which in some distros allows you
to select the windows manager.
