Are these "troubles" due to RedHat 8 or Gnome 2 ?

[Paul E Johnson <pauljohn ku edu>]

I installed RH8 on a clean system and have some troubles. I have some 
config problems.  If these are due to the much discussed RedHat 
"improvements" and "simplifications", please let me know and I'll get 
Gnome some other way.

1. How do you choose a Window Manager? That choice is gone from the 
config setup.

2. Without being able to switch Window Managers, I can't see how to make 
the backgrounds of different workspaces use different images.  Is it 
possible?

3. There appears to be no way inside the file manager (Nautilus?) to 
find out how much space is used in a directory.  Is that right?

4. gnome-terminal no longer accepts a command-line argument to indicate 
which pixmap should be used on the background.  After choosing a pixmap 
in the menu system, the background does not scale with the terminal 
window. Is it supposed to be that way?
