Re: Sawfish and Gnome 2.2

Alright...

I created a brand new user on my workstation, just to be sure it isn't a
config problem with my desktop setup... It isn't; the new user account
had the same problems...

I ran ./configure with only --prefix=/usr and, while it made a big size
difference in /usr/bin/sawfish (1296434 bytes compared to 183340 bytes),
that's about all it did. Same problem. Borderless windows, and
dissapearing panels.

Here's the output from the new user account's .gnomerc-errors file...

SESSION_MANAGER=local/synthesis.phaseburn.net:/tmp/.ICE-unix/12414

The lost connection to X stuff is my killing X via ctrl alt backspace
(as with no panel, I have no way to log out)

Any help you can give me would be much appreciated. I'd like to use
sawfish once again - I haven't been happy with out it... Because sawfish
acts the same way when I compile it vs when emerge compiles it, I'm
honestly not sure where this problem lies...
