Advanced configuring of metacity [no more sawfish in FC3] or other WMs

   So I finally took the plunge last W/E and upgraded FC2 to FC3, and 
sawfish has finally been removed.

   I've never really found metacity does what I need, but now I'm used 
to GUI config. for straightforward options (e.g,. key/mouse 
bindings/themes) I'm loathe to drop to another (more configurable) WM 
that /forces/ me to fiddle with config. files (did I really just say 
that?) like I used to a few years back in FVWM2.


   I know of devilspie for metacity which will give me matched window 
config., but is there any way of properly customising key/mouse bindings 
with metacity (even via an external app. like devilspie)?

   *That'* the thing stopping me from just going with the flow on this; 
  I'm too used to my mouse button-6 doing raise-lower ...

   Failing that, any recommendations for replacement WMs that have 
decent get-you-going GUI config. tools (and decent themes :-) )?
