So who is a Fedora expert?
How do I get rid of the (vaguely horrible) Gnome desktop on this here Fedora machine and then choose a more acceptable window manager?
OK, I can do the choosing and installing of the Window manager I want as I have done that on my home machine.
However I can't see how/where to find the hooks that gnome uses to start the gnome desktop. The system is running gdm by the way, which is OK but I can't see where *it* decides which window manager to start. If it's easier I'm quite happy to ditch gdm and use something else (or even nothing, run startx directly).

On my Debian box I have:
/etc/X11/default-display-manager
which contains the absolute path to my display manager executable.

There isn't one of them here. ... and anyway I want to change the window manager rather than the display manager.
