gnome-wm - Launches the user selected window manager for the GNOME session

SYNOPSIS
       gnome-wm [--default-wm windowmanager] [--sm-client-id id]

DESCRIPTION
       The  gnome-wm script invokes the user selected window manager.  If the
       user has not chosen a window manager it will try	 to  launch  a	GNOME
       compliant window manager.

       The  user  can  overwrite the selection of a window manager by setting
       the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable.	 If a --default-wm option  is
       given  the  script  uses that window manager in case WINDOW_MANAGER is
       not set.	 If gnome-wm is given as the argument to --default-wm then it
       is the same as if no default was given.

       The  script takes the --sm-client-id argument and translates the id to
       an appropriate option depending on which window manager was  selected.



ENVIRONMENT
       The  gnome-wm program uses the value of the WINDOW_MANAGER environment
       variable to let the user override the configured window manager.

PERSISTENT SETTINGS
       The program stores the current selection of a window  manager  in  the
       gconf key /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default

SEE ALSO
       gnome-session(1),default.session(5)

       If  you	find  bugs in the gnome-wm program, please report these using
       bug-buddy or the gnome-bug script included with	the  GNOME  libraries
       distribution.
