		No dialog currently. You can setup sawfish to restart automagically in gnome-session-properties. Just go to the Current Session tab, click on Sawfish and choose the style restart.

Thanks. This does start sawfish, but when I close the terminal (by
clicking on the 'x' icon), sawfish crashes and there is no window
manager anymore (I can start metacity again from a new terminal).

That may be a problem with Sawfish, but I wonder if this very "manual"
technique has something to do with the crash.

So must I conclude that there is no dialog in GNOME 2.2 to change the
WM, like there was in GNOME 1.4? Is there such a dialog in GNOME 2.4?
