I start my gnome2.2 after fvwm in an $XTERM, because I want to use
antialiasing for gtk1 and gtk2 programs.
libgdkxft is a very evil hack, so I have really bad problems when I
start antialiased gtk1 programs from gnome2.2

If it ist not important for you that gtk1 programs are antialiased:
- start your gnome2 normaly with metacity.
- start fvwm in an $XTERM with the parameter "-replace"
- save your session
Done.

gnome2 will now start with fvwm instead of metacity.
