I need to add that I ran the command

apt-get install sawfish after removing

sawfish-gnome.

Subject: Woody, Gnome and window managers

I installed gnome-session and then sawfish-gnome

using Woody.  Every time I ran the command startx,

I would get a beep. 

 

So I removed sawfish-gnome, but then gnome complained

that it needed a gnome compliant window manager.

So I reinstalled sawfish-gnome, but although

apt-get showed that sawfish-gnome was reinstalled

it was not actually reinstalled.  I know this because

the app window was stuck at the top left of the screen

and could not be moved.  It seemed to work fine

earlier except for the bothersome beep.

 

So what window manager should I use with Woody Gnome?

Is the beep an issue?

And why isnt the reinstall of sawfish-gnome working?
