Thanks Joe, that was moderately useful - but Question 1 on that page about
how to get Gnome doesn't say how the defaults get installed.  That is,
would my reinstalling Gnome fix my ~/.gnome/whatever and ~/.xinitrc woes?

What I really need is a document explaining how to set and unset options
for Gnome but from without.  How can I set a windows manager for Gnome
using the command line or by editing some files before running startx?
