 $#> Rather silly question. I installed (and `switched to') Window Maker from

 $#> wmconfig?

WindowMaker is a Window Manager that does what it name implies (i.e.
putting a bar on the windows so that you can drag them, gives you
virtual spaces, a button for closing window etc.). GNOME is an
environment which runs on top of a Window Manager. You can appreciate
the difference more once you *install* GNOME and run it. It did not
come with RH5.2.
