a little more _flexible? I've got Window Maker installed, but then I
discovered that the new GNOME apparently has no visible option for changing
window manager. (Of course! It's better that way! Why would you want to
change it away from the perfect-for-all-humanity defaults?!?) So I did some
googling, and discovered that there's a GConf setting for this. So I use
gconf-editor and change it. Log out, log back in again, and hey, lookit
that, no effect at all.
gnome-session-properties is included but (inexplicably IMHO, Bugzilla notified) not shown
in the menu.
Alternatively:
%killall metaticy; new-wm &
and save the ssession.
Good luck
