Ok, I installed openbox just for kicks.  Never tried it.  However I
can't seem to figure out how to change the default window manager in
Gnome.  I tried searching for "window_manager" in gconf-editor, and
setting the current and default key values to a different window
manager and it doesn't work and shows that it is a deprecated option
anyway.  I can't seem to find information on it in the documentation
on the gnome website either.

FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p10, xorg-6.9.0, gnome2-2.16.2.
