Start the Gnome control centre (from the foot menu, somewhere in there), go to
the "Window Manager" section (should be near the top), and select sawfish and
hit OK. If sawfish is already selected, select another window manager (IIRC,
twm should be there too), hit try, then select sawfish, and hit OK. When it
asks, say OK to save the session.
