*** Bug 449048 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This should be fixed with the following commit, I think:
2008-07-31 William Jon McCann <jmccann>
* data/Makefile.am:
* data/gnome-session.schemas.in:
* data/gnome-wm:
* data/gnome-wm.desktop.in:
* gnome-session/gsm-util.c (gsm_util_get_app_dirs):
Install a desktop file for gnome-wm and use that
as the default window manager instead of calling
metacity directly. Add a gconf key to allow
changing the default program for gnome-wm to use.
Remove the gnome/wm-properties directory from
the autostart search path.

I've fixed the typo upstream now. Will be in the next build. Is this fix in Rawhide yet? I ask because I'm running Rawhide on my laptop (gnome-session-2.23.92-1), and I'm still fighting with gnome-session to run my preferred window manager: $ gconftool-2 --get-type /apps/gnome-session/gnome-wm/preferred_window_manager string $ gconftool-2 --get /apps/gnome-session/gnome-wm/preferred_window_manager sawfish $ type sawfish sawfish is /usr/bin/sawfish Yet when I login, I get metacity. And gnome-session will stubbornly restart metacity if I attempt to kill it and run sawfish instead. :( If I keep executing "killall metacity; daemon sawfish", sawfish will eventually win the race, but man oh man does gnome-session become perturbed if that happens. (As in, it keeps trying to fork metacity processes as fast as they die, thereby pegging the CPU.)
