That is determined by the shell script /etc/X11/prefdm.  It looks at
a file /etc/sysconfig/desktop.  To switch to using gdm simply do:

echo GNOME > /etc/sysconfig/desktop

as root.  Similarly KDE uses kdm and AnotherLevel uses xdm.  If you do
not have an /etc/sysconfig/desktop file (as created by the previous
command), it defaults to (in order) kdm, gdm, xdm based on whether you
have them installed.

The practice of making /etc/X11/prefdm a symlink to your display
manager of choice does not work with all distributions as some rewrite
the script each time X is started.
