As it's now Monday night, I'm going to assume that we don't have a  
better solution to the zephyr/screensaver problem, and that we should  
probably force metacity on cluster users for the time being, as per  
consensus on -c debathena at 19:19 on 2/28.

What needs to happen to move forward on this by Wednesday?

I think we just need to somehow force /desktop/gnome/session/ 
required_components/windowmanager to be metacity.    Although the  
gnome-wm script thinks it should be /desktop/gnome/applications/ 
window_manager/default

By default the window manager is "gnome-wm", which is a script that  
honors, among other things, $WINDOW_MANAGER...
