I'm running debian 6.0.4 (squeeze).
I'm attempting to change my window manager from the default metacity
to wmaker (WindowMaker).
I attempted the change by
sudo update-alternatives --display x-window-manager
and then choosing the wmaker alternative.
I think gnome uses its own configuration system rather than debian's.
I think it goes something like this:
Open gconf-editor (install it if it is not already installed). Find the
correct place to edit (I do not have a gnome2 installation here). It may
be <desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager>, as
suggested by the internet.
You could search for "required_components" and I think you should find
the right place.
You should see that windowmanager is set to metacity. Change it to
whatever you like (wmaker, I guess).
At least that procedure worked for me when I switched form metacity to
compiz. There is also the command line way. As I have never used it I
will not propose it, but the internet hints at "gconftool-2 -s
/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad --type
string" as the command line way of setting the windowmanager to xmonad.
