Even since I can remember, at the login screen just like you mentioned in Solaris you can select which WM to login to. So, I would guess that all you need to do is log out of Gnome and at the login screen look for what ever icon you see which will allow you to select any of the WMs you have installed in Ubuntu, regardless it be KDE or Gnome. I am not sure if you're being serious or not here's additional information about Slim login manager.
