Some semantic confusion here. Desktop 'environments' like gnome and kde come packaged with their own window managers (metacity and kwin, respectively) but you may easily substitute any other window manager that respects the ICCCM mechanisms because they all do the same basic stuff -- some add extra stuff on top, of course. Metacity is billed as "the window manager for adults" because it does *no* extra stuff :o)
