This is a problem with gnome-wm and the alternatives system in debian.  
update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
You should do this as root and choose either sawfish or metachity.  I
use metacity and would recomend it over sawfish.  Also another
posibility is to do:
killall fvwm2 && metacity& 
then logout being sure to save your session and next time you login as
that user you will have metacity(but only for that user).
