GNOME 2 can use whatever window manager which follows the EHWM spec (www.freedesktop.org). Sawfish will soon be replaced by Metacity in GNOME (probably for GNOME 2.2) and we choose to switch earlier, because metacity works better and is much simpler than sawfish (RH did the same think and if you discuss with GNOME hackers, almost everybody uses metacity..) -- Fr�d�ric Crozat MandrakeSoft
