Each is partly responsible. Hrm, I had heard the opposite, that Metacity was the new default, form Gnome.org. Perhaps I was misinformed. The reasons for using Metacity given to me was the fact that sawfish was supposedly very buggy with Gnome2. Of course, since I neither use Gnome, nor any of those WMs, I can't attest to the truth of these reasons. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE For Web Services and Linux Consulting, Visit --> j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
