Which did you install?  Grub is the better option;  lilo is old and
difficult.

Dunno.  It works for me with gnome-terminal.

First, install sawfish.   Then, open the gnome-session-properties
program (Extras->Preferences->Session) and change metacity from respawn

killall metacity ; (sawfish&)&

It'll suck less if sawfish ever supports --replace.
