!! Changing the [GNOME] default WebBrowser
To change the browser that fires up when you click on links in various [GNOME] applications, just change the default browser in the [GNOME] control center (you can bring up the panel in question directly by running __<tt>gnome-default-applications-properties</tt>__). Enter something like __<tt>opera "%s"</tt>__ or __<tt>mozilla "%s"</tt>__ in the Custom Web Browser box.

+!! Changing the GNOME2 WindowManager
+
+GNOME 1.4 has a capplet for changing window manager. In GNOME 2.x, you can change it
+
+* Per user: =$ gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default -t string /usr/bin/sawfish=
+* System wide: edit /usr/share/gnome/default.wm (maybe)
+
+If the above fails because you have a previously saved session with metacity, then loading the Gnome Session manager, deleting 'Default' and then adding a new 'Default' seems to allow sawfish to start.
