What you should be able to do is, at the login screen, click "options",
and choose which session you want.  I have 5 different WM/DEs installed, 
and can choose between them (awm, openbox, fluxbox, gnome, lxde).
You should be able to log out, switch sessions and log back in, as well, 
without rebooting, by the way.

So, unless you click options and choose to change the session, the 
machine will, be default, log in to the previously loaded session, which 
in this case is gnome.
