Well, the correct place for question like this is the debian-gtk-gnome mailing list, and there were already many discution about the the window manager issue, but i don't remember something similar about your situation. Just ask this question there. BTW, having gnome2 boot without a windows manager is not nice, but having it start with twm is a quite funny experience. Friendly, Sven Luther
