Bug#241361: Te problem is in gnome-session with gnome-wm

[Ernesto Jiménez Caballero]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.4.2-4
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #241361

I think the problem is here:
 -- Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org>  Wed, 31 Mar 2004 16:36:47 +0200
 gnome-session (2.4.2-3) unstable; urgency=low
 [...]
   * Use metacity by default:
   + gnome-wm: use metacity or sawfish when it is available
   + default.session: let gnome-wm discover the window manager
 
It doesn't let us to configure the selection with gconf-editor (when you
restart gnome metacity is running).

I thought that it was because it found metacity and sawfish and selected
metacity without listening my configuration (gconf and
update-alternatives pointing to sawfish). So I moved /usr/bin/metacity
to /usr/bin/metacity.no and it started with sawfish.

Please, solve this problem ;D
