[ale] Swithcing to WindowMaker

[Matthew Brown]

I don't have a Settings selection under the Gnome paw.

But, if I run gnome-control-center, the Desktop Preferences icon
bombs... Says it has no handler for that file type.

Ah. You will have touse the Gnome Control Panel to change window
managers.

Click on the main Gnome button on your Gnome panel and then choose
Settings and then Chose Gnome Control Center. When the window pops up,
go to the Desktop section and click on Window Manager. WindowMaker
should be one of the options there. Click on it and then click on "Try".
If it starts up then clikc on Ok. and then quit. Next time you restart
Gnome via either restarting X or just logging out and logging back in,
you'll be using WindowMaker.

hope this helps
