I have been having the opposite problem: mine keeps defaulting back to
enlightenment. Running switchdesk doesn't seem to help; somehow, .wm_style
keeps being reset.

That's strictly a matter of taste. Gnome isn't a window manager, though,
it's a session manager. You should be able to run afterstep under gnome,
although certain features might not work as well as with enlightenment or
windowmaker.
Both gnome and KDE chew up huge amounts of RAM, as does E. If you're light
on memory, use afterstep or windowmaker (or whatever else you like), but
don't run the KDE or gnome session managers. Then again, if you have the
RAM to spare, it doesn't really matter much what you run, as long as you
like it. :)
