At the log in prompt choose a different window manager.

If you aren't using graphical login you can edit the .xinitrc in your home directory. Here's what mine looks like:
hotkeys -t dn_901 -Z &
xmodmap -e "keycode 110 = Multi_key" &
aumix -L &
xscreensaver -nosplash &
gkrellm -w &
xmms &
exec fluxboxThe important part is the exec at the end. You could also do exec gnome-session if you wanted to run gnome instead (if you installed it) or exec icewm for IceWM.
