I didn't realise Gnome was a window manager. Yet it runs with sawfish. Makes me think I should be able to choose Gnome and Enlightenment, but how?


Gnome is not a window manager.  Gnome contains many programs, one of
which is a window manager.

There should be a Gnome setting for changing the window manager.  So
you could try that.  Alas, as I don't use Gnome myself, I don't know
where to find that setting.

interestingly I just found a config file:


~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/%gconf.xml


containing the command for the window manager in gnome. I wonder what happens if I change that command to selectwm???
