Switching from Metacity to Sawfish in RH 8.0

Switching from Metacity to Sawfish in RH 8.0

[J S]

Does anyone have a good explanation of how Gnome knows what window
manager to start when Gnome is loaded.  Right now I'm running Gnome
under RH 8.0 which uses the Metacity window manager be default, but I
want to play around with Sawfish, and possibly other managers.  Anyone
know how to change this?  I realize there was a recent thread related to
a similar topic, but it seemed to focus on icewm and how to start it
when X is started such as...

startx /usr/bin/icewm -- :0

I feel like I have a good understanding of linux, even the kernel and
it's source code, but not when X gets involved.  I just don't have a
good picture of desktop managers vs window managers, etc.
