| How do I get to the Gnome 2 control center to switch window managers? I can't find it anywhere. |

Two ways:
1. open a terminal and type gnome-control-center
2. open nautilus and type in the statusbar: start-here:

| I don't see an option there to select which Window Manager you want to use. I just installed Sawfish and want to switch to it, but can't find the Window Manager Swithing tool or the Control Center like Gnome 1.4 had. |

If you install sawfish it should just appear in the Applications >Preferences menu on your top panel. The same applies for metacity.
There's another solution: emerge gtk-theme-switch

I couldn't figure it out either, so I logged into #gentoo (after searching with google for over an hour) and asked around. rvdp gave me a tip:
killall sawfish && metacity. Logout and save session
I tried it, and when I logged in again I had NO WM! I was able to start a term and start metacity (I had sawfish before, but wanted to try metacity).
I have no idea how you SUPOOSED to change WM's in Gnome 2, but this way seemed to work.
