Until I went to RH8.0, I used to be able to switch window managers to compare their features, but now I no longer know how to do it. I want to try sawfish, but that's only offered as an alternative desktop environment to gnome, not as a window manager to run under gnome. Running xinit sawfish doesn't work because I'm already running an X server.
Two questions: 1. Is it possible to switch window managers under my RedHat 8.0 gnome desktop without exiting X? When I decide on a manager, can I put it into ~/.Xinitrc to override the default? 2. All I want to do is to run a window manager that will support window stacking. The wm web sites don't worry much about this feature, so I'm stuck just trying them out to see if stack control is included. Enlightenment suports it nicely, but under RH8.0, getting it to run under gnome is a risky business. Does sawfish support stack vs. queue for window placement?
