I had already looked at every single gconf thing I could find, to no avail. 

Now I've tried to use the session control applet, removing the running
window manager and running sawfish (luckily I had a terminal open),
and it's working... but that's hardly a good interface at all. Either
there must be an easier way, or a FAQ/guide entry waiting to be
written somewhere :)

Well, at least I can now try a few WM.

Thanks for helping,
