[opensuse] Metacity in my XFCE? How to fix it again?
Hello, I use XFCE as my desktop. After upgrading to openSUSE 11.0, I noticed a menu option in the settings section : Desktop Effects. I had a look at it and enabled the 3D effects and played a bit with it. Then I disabled it again. The problem is now that it seems that XFCE is still stuck with Metacity as window manager and I cannot get it back. When I try to open the 'Window Manager' and 'Window Manger Tweaks' tools in Settings, it tells me I cannot use it because Metacity is the current window manager. Any idea how I can get it back to normal so it will use the xfce window manager again? I googled, but only found some articles on how to use xfcewm in Gnome.

Hey, it worked! At first I was skeptical, because I assumed that it would revert back to Metacity once I log out, but when I logged out I just told it to save current session and on next login things were back to normal with xfwm4 as the window manager.
