Changing Window Manager in GNOME


Ok. I think I more or less understand about the X Window System now. However, I wanted to see what modifications would happen to GNOME if I change its window manager.

So I went to the GConf -> desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager

There, in the key where it reads "metacity", I replaced it with twm (I later tried with /usr/X11R6/bin/twm). Then I restarted GNOME, went back to GCONF and bang... "metacity" is there again.

Could anyone help me out?

Thanks a lot!
