[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.

Thanks
