Well, that's not exactly true. We aren't interested in having the term
"window manager" in the GUI (other than in a "power tweak" control
panel that someone might write), but there is a plan for how it should
be easy that should work with fvwm2 right now for example:
$ fvwm2 -replace &
$ gnome-session-save
That's it. The problem is just that Sawfish doesn't have the -replace
feature. -replace uses a standard mechanism defined in the ICCCM
(WM_Sn selection).
