You shouldn't have to change anything to the window-managers file. Gnome does not contains a window-manager, gnome *is* not a window manager. You should get your preferable windowmanager running, and then add 'panel &' to your .xsession (if you're running xdm) or .xinitrc (if you're using startx), and if you want to gsm (the gnome session manager, it's in package gnome-session). If you add these, remember to put them *before* any call to a window-manager, or else they wont be started. I'm sure somebody else can give a better explanation....
