But not here. Since you do not support sawfish, the only solution would
be rpm -e sawfish :-( Correct?
Is there anything I can do to help you? How do I get some feedback from
system on why it is not starting the capplet?
I am happy with metacity, that's ok, but then I have some probs which
may or may not be related to metacity - just try this yourself:
[Running upgraded fresh 8.2 (week old) upgraded to 9.0]
Problem 1:
----------
- run Mozilla [Mozilla window has focus]
- run Mozilla Mail (optional)
- run gedit (or anything else), in the same workspace
[gedit window has focus]
- click inside Mozilla window - the Mozilla window comes on top, but
does not get focus. I have to click on the window header to get it to focus.
I have "Click to focus" setting enabled in GCC.
Problem 2:
----------
Not sure if related to WM - playing freeciv client shipped with MDK9.0
(I guess it is the GTK2 client), when multiple windows popup after a
turn, only one of them is focusable.
This is especially annoying when scientists come with a new invention,
you try to choose another one to invent, click on help check box and
have help screen pop up on a invention, but this help screen is not
active/is disabled. You have to close science report dialog, and only
then you can use the help popup window.
Let me know if I can help you with any of the probs. I will try sawfish
and see if the problems persist.
Michal
