[ALUG] Gnome question (or actually an "I don't want Gnome" question)

I have just started back at work, the place I left a few months ago
where I have a two day a week contract starting today.

I have got a Fedora based machine as my desktop machine again
(Hoorah!) but I haven't got my old customised setup back so I've got
to redo it from scratch.

The first problem is - how do I turn off the Gnome desktop from being
automatically started?  Is there a setup option somewhere that selects
what window manager I want?

I have created a .xinitrc file which starts fvwm2 (the window manager
I want) but it hasn't done anything.

I suspect what I need to change is buried in the gdm/xdm startup somewhere.
