RE: [newbie] sawfish configuration
I hadn't thought of that, Sephen. I assumed since I upgraded from a system with sawfish, sawfish would remain. I see no option in any of the gnome menus to change window manager, or anything that mentions metacity. There is a sawfish folder, though. How do I find out which wm i am using? - Paul On Wed, 2002-11-06 at 17:21, Stephen Kuhn wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:newbie-owner;linux-mandrake.com wrote: So does that make this an official bug?

I think it's rather safe to say that you're using MetaCity as the WM for Gnome2 - even though you STILL have the /usr/share/sawfish folders after your upgrade.

Any way to check which wm is running, though? - P On Thu, 2002-11-07 at 19:20, Stephen Kuhn wrote: On Fri, 2002-11-08 at 11:03, Paul Rodriguez wrote: I hadn't thought of that, Sephen.
