gnome-wm doesn't obey local setting

[Theppitak Karoonboonyanan <thep@links.nectec.or.th>]

Hello,

With my 'sid' box, I've set this in my ~/.Xsession :

  export WINDOW_MANAGER=sawfish
  export LANG=th_TH
  exec gnome-session

But the window manager actually activated was still WindowMaker, as the
following symlink made it so :-

  $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           21 A.$. 29 19:02
  /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager -> /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker

But, with the WINDOW_MANAGER environment set, it should have been sawfish.
Would the patch for the /usr/bin/gnome-wm below be appropriate to apply?
