i'm not sure if i know what you are asking, but when i installed i didn't install gnome or kde since i wanted to use windowmaker, but when i started X, it kept loading fvwm what i did was to tool around with a couple files. one obvious one is your own .xinitrc file, all i have in there right now is:

exec wmaker

since one of the things that startx does is to run .xinitrc
other places to tool around in is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit and /etc/X11/xinit play with the xinitrc and the Xclients, make copies of the files before altering them (maybe make a dir called "backup") the code is pretty striaght forward even without much knowledge, the first bunch of Xclients is just trying to assign a windoe manager to the variable PREFERRED. hope this helps.

I fixed it when x windows starts up i chose gnome instead of Default, and then made it the default, works now. just fo the archives...
