Does anyone know what it takes to get /etc/gnome/default.wm to 
take effect?

When GNOME creates my ~/.gnome* directories, it always creates
~/.gnome/default.wm, with WM=sawfish regardless of what I put in
/etc/gnome/default.wm.

In the Debian-default /etc/gnome/default.session, is the line:

  2,RestartCommand=gnome-wm --default-wm sawfish --sm-client-id default2

supposed to override /etc/gnome/default.wm for purposes of creating
~/.gnome/default.wm.

(In case it makes a difference:  I start gnome-session by having "exec
x-session-manager" at the end of my .xsession file.)


More generally, is there any good explanation of how GNOME setup works?

(I've found GNOME user documentation, but nothing about installing it
or setting it up.   I've been using just FVWM, and want to convert
somewhat incrementally to GNOME with FVWM, so I don't want to jump 
directly to the Debian-default GDM/GNOME/Sawfish setup.)


Thanks,
Daniel
