Yes, my studies are going well, thank you. > >> I believe there is little difference between the version in stretch >> and the upstream.

Can you open a bug report against Debian about this tiling glitch?

I think the same. I just directed my little free time to other packages with more users. It is always good to know users that care about my packages. :) > >> Debian, please open a bug report and I will update the package via the >> backports.

The backports is for users of stable, in this case for stretch. It is freeze time on Debian. When the freeze is over I will upload the latest sawfish into sid. If it takes to much time I will upload it to experimental. > > thanks! > jao Kind regards Jose M Calhariz
