Title: RE: [Fink-beginners] Gnome2

This doesn't seem to work for me, the metacity manager seems to be running while GNOME loads (I know because I get an error message about not having xscreensaver in a properly formed window), but the splash screen then indicates that sawfish is being started and I have the window problem again.  It's starting sawfish for some reason, do you know how I change that?

Best,
Brent

What I did is just call metacity in my .xinitrc before gnome-session:

...
metacity &
gnome-session
...
GNOME detects that metacity is running, and is happy. 

By the way, was your sawfish problem that the controls for the windows
vanished?
