KDE and Gnome are no window managers. They are session managers. You need to run update-alternatives --config x-session-manager startx first tries to run x-session-manager, and if that fails x-window-manager. You can set the window manager gnome should use from the control center. x-window-manager has nothing to do with that. Matijs.
