Check out the man pages for both to get the idea.
To make Gnome the default, update-alternatives is your friend - check out the man pages and look through /etc/alternatives for the things you can set. If you don't want to set the system wide defaults, but just your user session, you can do this with a line in your ~/.xsession file that reads, by itself: gnome-session Then when the gnome-session is up, you can pick the WM used by Gnome, and save it.
