what i do to run sawfish instead of metacity is :

# aptitude install sawfish-gnome+ metacity_

also if that command exits sucessfully, but you dont have a window
manager running (ie. gconf got munged) then you can add sawfish to the
list of startup programs under "preferences -> session -> startup
programs". "preferences" is somewhere under the gnome panel depending on
which version of gnome you are running.
