Gnome 2.2 Window Manager Switch


How do you change the Gnome 2.2 default window manager from meta city? I really like the new gnome but it doesnt appear to be the easiest to customize.

open a terminal window and run this:

killall metacity&sawfish &

this should run sawfish in ur currnet gnome session. Now, before logging out, mark the option 'Save Current setup'. this should automatically start sawfish the next time you login.

u need to do this to each gnome user.
