Playing around, I went into system tools and switched from Gnome desktop to TWM. No I have no idea how to undue this. Any and all help is appreciated.

I'm not sure how gst makes the actuall switch, however, try looking in either .xsession, or .xinitrc. In one (or both) i belive if you put "gnome-session" into it, it will start gnome instead of twm. Have you begun using startx, or are you still using GDM?
