From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020712 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. Additional info: Limbo beta2
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.
