Not followed this thread, but sometimes we (as in all of us) do more to hinder the adoption of Linux more than help. Sometimes it's difficult to understand what people need to do... This isn't important right now. I'm someone who hasn't adjusted to Metacity yet, so to whoever needs assistance with this - as I recall the method for swapping over to sawfish is:. rpm -q sawfish // make sure that you have sawfish installed // if not "up2date sawfish" should be enough to install ps -ef | grep metacity allena28 4111 4009 0 17:31 pts/6 00:00:00 metacity... // the 4111 is the process id of metacity kill 4111;sleep 2;sawfish & // the process id 4111 will differ for your example. make sure you save your session when exiting otherwise metacity will be the window manager next time. -- NAME : Adam Allen.
