Actually it probably says something good about you if you messed up such a
thing. I find it something of a negative mark that I remember so many IP
addresses. Talk about having no life.

You can switch Gnome 2 to use sawfish instead of Metacity though it isn't
as easy as it should be. If you work over VNC much you'll soon learn to
love how certain useful Gnome tools crash when ran over VNC.. unless
they've finally fixed that after all my bitching.

The Ximian desktop IMO is better than that provided with any distro but
I'm still not pleased with how they've evolved.
