Re: Gnome2.2 Window Manager

metacity seems faster, but less options, if you wish to use metacity,
then:

apt-get install metacity metacity-setup

I agree.

Once logged in to gnome, if you wish to use metacity, open gnome
terminal/xterm or whatever and run:

Find the Process ID of sawfish (ps -ax | grep sawfish)
kill -9 (pidof sawfish) && metacity

If you try to kill sawfish and not run metacity straight after, I have
had
problems, with gnome not knowing how to place the windows, thus unable
to
start metacity (without a struggle)

Once started, close terminal, this will restart metacity, and then
logout
and save session, thus the next time it will default to metacity.

There's an easier way making metacity the deafult window manager. su
root, then
#update-alternatives --config x-window-manager

And select metacity

Hope that helps

/me is hoping to :)

Thanks, it helped.
