changing window manager

How do you change the window manager gnome uses?  I wanted to try afterstep but it says one is already running (I assume metacity).  Found gnome-wm but it just says "window manager already running".  I tried killall metacity but it just crashed gnome..

Thanks for any help!

Re: changing window manager

export WINDOW_MANAGER=afterstep

or whatever you want to use. Just put that in  your .xinitrc or something
