I'm just beginning to upgrade mines. Except the FAM problem and some other unimportant issues, I find it ready (GNOME 2 + OOo on Debian Sarge). But let's see your issues and let's try to solve them. > The main thing is that nothing seems to be saved when I log out.

What does the "Text Editor" application preference > mean, if not "that's the app I want to start when I choose Text Editor"? I would probably think the same way as you, if I only used Emacs. Nothing prevents you to submit a menu file for Emacs. You'll find them along with examples of the already existing menus in /usr/share/applications/. Feel free to submit your carefully crafted file to the Emacs maintainer. It also works that way for the menus in KDE3 (/usr/share/applications is common). > And I don't see a preference anywhere to choose the window manager. > Though an Enlightenment fan, I'd like to give metacity a chance.

For the system, it is an "alternatives" preferences. To change it the clean way: "update-alternatives --config x-window-manager" as root.
