No, I didn't know, and I'm a part of all... but anyway, jokes aside,
gnome is a desktop environment, windowmaker is a window manager. 
WindowMaker runs on GNOME, not the other way around.  GNOME runs over
the X server (actually, it uses the services of the X Server).

> ie. the gnome-core does not work

It is always working for the above reasons.  What isn't running is
Enlightenment - which is the default window manager that runs on GNOME
as installed on RedHat systems.

> however there are other gnome apps. that do work.

That is so because they are running on GNOME.

> does that mean that gnome is installed on my system.?

Yes it does.

> windowmaker.

I think the above should answer that question.

Cheers,
Philip
