How do you change the window-manager in GNOME2? I'd really like to run Enlightenment instead of Sawfish.
I'm not sure enlightenment will work well in GNOME 2.0. It may not like the new GNOME 2.0 hooks. However, there is no good way to switch window managers yet. It's being worked on. I use:
killall sawfish ; metacity&
To switch from sawfish to metacity.

I've never tried Joe's way, but this worked for me: Fire up gconf-editor and go to /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/ and change "default" and "current" to match the path of enlightenment, which would usually be something like /usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment .
