It sounds like you want to run Fvwm instead of Gnome, rather than
within Gnome. You should make a ~/.xinitrc script (it's just a shell
script) and add a line to run fvwm. It is important to make fvwm
block execution of the script, i.e. don't do it with "fvwm &". Then
you can start fvwm by running "startx" at the linux console. If you
symlink ~/.xinitrc to ~/.xsession, your display manager (e.g. kdm,
gdm) should run that if you choose "alternate session" or something
similar.
