I found this after a little bit of digging. i figured it was something
weird and obvious.
The script that sets the window manager is /usr/bin/gnome-wm.
If the environment variable "WINDOW_MANAGER" is not set, it looks
through the list and runs the first one it finds. Check the script for
valid options. (I do not have Gnome 2 on this machine yet.) The ones I
remember are "metacity", "sawfish", and "sawmill". There are a number
of others on the list.
It would be nice if it were a little easier for the average user to
find. Glad I am not the average user...
