sawfish in gnome2



I can't figure out how to use sawfish in gnome2.
With the below settings, if I remove metacity, I get a gnome session
without window manager instead of sawfish.

I have set the alternative:

~$ update-alternatives --display x-window-manager
x-window-manager - status is manual.
 link currently points to /usr/bin/sawfish
/usr/X11R6/bin/twm - priority 40
 slave x-window-manager.1.gz: /usr/X11R6/man/man1/twm.1x.gz
/usr/bin/sawfish - priority 70
 slave x-window-manager.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/sawfish.1.gz
/usr/bin/metacity - priority 40
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/sawfish.

I have set sawfish in my gconf:

~$ cat .gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/%gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf><entry name="default" mtime="1037058583" muser="christophe"
type="string"><stringvalue>/usr/bin/sawfish</stringvalue></entry><entry
name="current" mtime="1037058923" muser="christophe"
type="string"><stringvalue>/usr/bin/sawfish</stringvalue></entry></gconf>

I have even set WINDOW_MANAGER in ~/.gnomerc

~$ cat .gnomerc 
export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/bin/sawfish
export LANG=fr_FR@euro
export GDK_USE_XFT=1
exec gnome-session

And it's still defined to sawfish once logged:

~$ echo $WINDOW_MANAGER
/usr/bin/sawfish

What I have missed?
