if you followed my previous post you can block everything except icewm. Hence 
/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/IceWM
will be executed for everyone.
Now all you need to do is figure out your UID. Lets pretend your UID
is 500. Stick this

if [ $UID -eq 500 ];then
        exec /usr/bin/gnome-session
        exit 0
fi

at the beginning of etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/IceWM so you will be the only
one who gets in using GNOME.
