Just to clarify, I don't think you can have 2 windowmanagers.
GNOME is not a windowmanager but a desktop environment; it's WM is
called mutter I believe.
In the past it used to be possible to replace that with openbox, in a
GNOME session.
I have no idea if this is still possible; a quick web search should
help (OK, I looked, it's not possible).
I know for a fact that XFCE4 can use openbox as its windowmanager.
