On a similar note, my collegue recently upgraded his box from gnome 1.4
to gnome 2 (don't know on what date), he had only enlightenment and twm
installed, and since then, he does not have a windows manager anymore
(and thus use the KDE session in gdm).
I tried the upgrading his box, installing metacity, doing the
update-alternative trick, but to no avail, the gnome session still has
no WM, not even the twm it used earlier.
The rest of the upgrade stuff went right though.
