wherever you want. This is Linux/Unix, not Windows or OSX. You don't *have* to run GNOME or KDE.
Some very different offerings from GNOME and KDE are FVWM, Fluxbox, GNUStep, and a host of other options exist. They have costs and benefits to them, like everything that exists. Check 'em out! Heck, old-skool things like twm is available in Fedora (perhaps in the Extras or Fusion repos, but they're there)

I've heard that it is possible to run Metacity and Panel under Gnome3.0 which then would provide a 2.x looking desktop on Gnome Shell.
