Hello,

In /usr/portage/gnome-base/gnome/gnome-2.2.1.ebuild on line 22 it says:

# Metacity was choosen as the default window manager because of sawfish's
long time of non-working state.

and on lines 93-95 it says:

"note that to change windowmanager to metacity do: "
" export WINDOW_MANAGER=\"/usr/bin/metacity\""
"of course this works for all other window managers as well"

Is this a contradiction?  If metacity has been chosen as default window
manager then why does it need to set again as default?

I was thinking of trying out Gnome 2.2.1 and since I don't use Gnome much
which window manager would you recommend that I should go with?

Many thanks
