OOPS... wasn't sure if my first message went through. fiddled with it a bit, took out the sleep command so it was just
killall -9 metacity; exec sawfish & and it worked. she reports the same. reason i did it: it'd kill metacity but i think it just started it right back up again (screen flashed, waited 10 sec then gave me that message about only running one wm at a time) so, solved. thanks again Stephen :D rhonda reports hers worked too when she removed sleep.
