I just upgraded from RedHate 6.2 to 7.2 and noticed this as well.
Even though I didn't select Gnome, it installed the bloated thing anyway.

Good thing, too, since all the usual Lazy Admin config tools I was used to
using only seem to be available in the Gnome menus and RedHate's docs
doesn't see fit to mention them by command line option...Grrr.

You can either use RedHate's switchdesk tool, or put the line "fvwm2" in
your .xinitrc (at least, that's what works for me).

The root user on my box is using Gnome+Enlightenment and I'm still using
just fvwm2 for my desktop.
On the plus side, X seems to be running faster. I think I managed to get
my XFree86 upgrade working right.
On the negative side, I have some FvwmButtons stuck in depressed mode
again. :(
Still tweakin' ...
-Tenebrae.
