From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020606 Description of problem: The earlier versions of control-center (e.g. the 1.5.x versions) had a separate rpm called control-center-plus. This held the advanced tab and contained the ability to change the window manager within gnome. The 2nd public beta of limbo does not include this package and as yet I have found no way to change the window manager within gnome. Switchdesk-gnome is not an option. This would set up a different window manager OUTSIDE of gnome. What i'm looking for is to change the window manager inside. So instead of sawfish say, I could use WindowMaker or twm.

Putting the term "window manager" in the GUI isn't really an option. Changing window managers more or less breaks the user interface from the standpoint of most users. The correct way to switch is simple, say to go from metacity to fvwm2: $ fvwm2 -replace $ gnome-session-save This is somewhat complicated because some window managers don't support session management (so you have to add them to the session in gnome-session-properties), or don't support -replace or --replace (so you have to killall the existing WM). But it's basically a sane mechanism. Encourage your upstream window manager maintainer to support SM and -replace/--replace (technical implementation of -replace is "ICCCM WM_Sn selection" if they ask).
