You need to remove MC from the gnome-session and add sawfish instead.
The way I did this:
while running Gnome
- open a terminal
- enter a command
pkill metacity && sawfish &
after that you will se some screen flickering while metacity shuts down
and a moment later sawfish starts up.
If for some reason sawfish does not start and you end up with a desktop
without window decorations try to click in the terminal window and enter
the command sawfish & again to start it finally
Once sawfish is running there is one thing left to do:
Log out of Gnome and _important_ save the session on the logout screen
alternatively you can enter the command gnome-session-save in a terminal
next time you start Gnome sawfish should be running instead of metacity.
hope this helps :)
