Are you saying I should remove it and install the metacity WM? I'm a bit nervous about deleting configuration files/directories unless I'm sure which ones. Which ones are the old ones that are OK to get rid them. Sorry about the delay in reponsehad a disk die in my email server...had to wait on the FedEx truck! info update-alternatives for information. After you feel confortable, you can su to root, or sudo, then update-alternatives --config x-window-manager Pick metacity then. Notice that you can always come back to sawfish Another thing, kill X after the change (control+alt+backspace) and login back Good luck. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Gnome workspace switcher still won't hold it's state between after a logout
Hey Gang, Reported on the gnome workspace switcher not holding it's state between a logout and relogin to the desktop a while back. Well upgraded to gnome 2.6 today in testing and it still doesn't hold it's state. Kind of annoying to have to constantly reset it to 4 workspaces. Issued the gnome-session-save command and that didn't seem to help. Thanks, for any tricks you may know! -- Henry Hollenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Part of the problem is that in desktop preferences there is an entry for metacity setup, by default, not to a wm in general. Next thing you want to do is to delete old configuration files in your home directory, refering to gnome. You may even want to erase whole directories that have old configuration files. drwx--9 tony tony 4096 2004-06-11 21:00 .gnome drwx-- 12 tony tony 4096 2004-06-13 16:42 .gnome2 drwx--2 tony tony 4096 2003-10-22 17:17 .gnome2_private drwxr-xr-x2 tony tony 4096 2003-10-20 16:53 .gnome-desktop drwx--3 tony tony 4096 2004-02-27 07:43 .gnome_private Try first .gnome2 alone, it mnay fix the problem.
