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 man-
       ager 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 /desk-
       top/gnome/applications/window_manager/default
