You have already one window manager running. Gnome uses its own default 
windows manager which name I forgot but can you many others.

Just stick to it as long as you are happy with it.

If you later feel that Gnome as a bit fat, you then can start using 
other Gnome compatible window managers. This gives you the option to 
switch between Gnome and your new window manager and it also gives you 
the option to tell Gnome to use that window manager.

Get used now to your 'new' desktop and scout out what possibilities it has.

Erich
