This looks good, I'll try it out, thanks!

Hm.  This is what I did:

  * Gnome session started from GDM, so .xinitrc is not used
  * In the session manager, I changed the metacity value from "Restart"
    to "Normal", so the session manager wouldn't restart it when I
    killed it.
  * Ran "killall metacity; sleep 1; fvwm &"
  * Saved my session

That seems essentially the same thing as you've done?

Either there is a difference in our configuration, or the splashscreen
that comes with RH 8.0 is different somehow than the "normal" Gnome
splashscreen.
