Description of problem:
I am not sure why Firstboot requires Metacity, but I don't like the requirement,
because Metacity will be defaulted to by Gnome2 if avaiable. I would prefer to
be able to install and run firstboot while choosing to install only Sawfish as a
window manager. Then Sawfish will be used by Gnome2 instead of Metacity.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot off the first cd
2. Start installer
3. Select Custom install
4. Unselect metacity
5. Make sure firstboot is selected
6. Click Next
	

Actual Results:  Metacity is a requirement of Firstboot

Expected Results:  The installer to continue.

Metacity is our default window manager for Gnome2.  Firstboot needs a window
manager, so metacity is the logical choice.  If you really want Sawfish, then
you can use gconf-editor in Gnome to change the default window manager.
