Hello, With my 'sid' box, I've set this in my ~/.Xsession :
export WINDOW_MANAGER=sawfish export LANG=th_TH exec gnome-session But the window manager actually activated was still WindowMaker, as the following symlink made it so :- $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 A.$. 29 19:02 /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager -> /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker But, with the WINDOW_MANAGER environment set, it should have been sawfish. Would the patch for the /usr/bin/gnome-wm below be appropriate to apply? -Theppitak. -- Theppitak Karoonboonyanan Information Research and Development Division, NECTEC (Was: Software and Language Engineering Laboratory) http://www.links.nectec.or.th/~thep/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- gnome-wm Tue Jan 23 10:26:18 2001 +++ gnome-wm.WINDOW_MANAGER Tue Jan 30 10:58:23 2001 @@ -37,7 +37,9 @@ done # Get default wm out of x-window-manager -WINDOW_MANAGER=`readlink /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager` 2> /dev/null +if [ !
