Well, changing the alternatives is really only for advanced users. We
should advise users to use the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable.

Ok, I had thought that the maximum priority was 50, but it seems sawfish
is already 70, so I guess that works.
All I really care about is that a user installing the "x-window-system"
and "desktop" tasks doesn't have GNOME start up with twm.
It looks like a priority increase of 40 would work. Do you want to put
together a patch?
