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 com-
    pliant 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)

    bug-buddy or the gnome-bug script included with the GNOME libraries
    distribution.
