I've seen that GConf key as well, but whenever I've tried using it I
failed. Absolutely nothing happened. No matter how many times I logged
out, or rebooted... nothing! (I don't remember what GNOME version I
tried it on last though.)

So, I've stuck to the whole kill-wm-start-another routine, since it's
always been successful.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

Beauty is more important in computing than anywhere else in technology
because software is so complicated. Beauty is the ultimate defence
against complexity.
