GNOME2 config



I've been running woody up on laptop for a while now
and have been regularly running apt-get
update/upgrade. After updating last night I decided to
have a go at installing GNOME2 and Mozilla 1.2.1 from
their respective sites on people.debian.org. It all
looked to running nicely, I rebooted after installing
everything and was impressed with what I'd got. But,
when I turned the machine on today I can't move any of
the windows around, they just sit one atop the other -
I have to close one window to see the one beneath and
I can't type into the address bar anything like the
search boxes on web pages - access through an M$ box
continues to allow me full access to the outside
world! I ran update-alternatives --config
x-windows-manager to try to switch from sawfish as I
have at present to metacity (I only seem to be able to
do this as root...). On rebooting the system sawfish
is still running... solutions to these simple little
problems would be most helpful. Thanks in advance!
