Makes me think I should be able to choose Gnome and Enlightenment, but how?Gnome is not a window manager. Gnome contains many programs, one of which is a window manager. There should be a Gnome setting for changing the window manager. So you could try that. Alas, as I don't use Gnome myself, I don't know where to find that setting.
by changing the window manager command in here ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/%gconf.xmlI discovered that sawfish, metacity and enlightenment work. Blackbox and uwm don't (weird effects happen instead though - quite interesting!).
Still to try wmaker and a couple of others.I haven't found a window manager fulfills all the little quirks that I want a window manager to perform yet.
This thread is turning into a bit of monologue. Does nobody else have issues with their window manager? Or even better, solved them?
