No problem, just turn off management in WindowMaker and let gnome do
it. (If I understand your request right then)

Especially when the desktop evironment came after the window manager.

But it is no problem as one can turn off session management in the
preference of WindowMaker. 

Last I tried Gnome session (v. 1.0.1) one couldn't tell the session
manager to stop saving my apps. Each time I started I got a new xbiff
up which really was run on a different machine through ssh, but the
manager ran it locally
