1. to switch to another windowmanager:
kill the existing one, start the new one,
and exit gnome with save-current-setup enabled.
or
use gconf-editor and change the approperiate setting
or
set the WINDOW_MANAGER system variable ( actually i'm nt
sure that variable has exactly this name, soory... can
anyone comment it)
2. what do you mean by dragging a window between desktops? you drag a
window, and when at the left-side of the screen the windowmanages should
switch to the next virtual desktop?
in metacity if you select a window, and switch to a different
workspace, the window will go with you
3. the menu on the top of the screen? it's a gnome decision not a
mandrake one.
bye,
gabor

That's life for you, said McDunn. Someone always waiting for someone
who never comes home. Always someone loving something more than that
thing loves them. And after awhile you want to destroy whatever
that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
