Ok, she tried that and got:

[rhonda@localhost rhonda]$ You may only run one window manager

[1]+  Exit 1                  exec sawfish

(she did it via sudo from a user account)

so i logged into gnome and tried it via sudo, as a regular user, and as root.


[jerry@supertrouper jerry]$ killall -9 metacity; sleep 10; exec sawfish &
[1] 1951
[jerry@supertrouper jerry]$ You may only run one window manager

[1]+  Exit 1                  exec sawfish
[jerry@supertrouper jerry]$ 

(same output for root)
