I use tcsh, but same difference. Tried setenv WINDOW_MANAGER sawfish in .login
and restarted. Came up in sawfish as before. xterm -> printenv WINDOW_MANAGER
came up blank. Same rigmarole using the logout button after creating the panel
and no way of saving the session.
So, it looks like I am stuck with my Mandrake 8.2/Gnome 1.4 combination for the
duration. Mandrake 9/Sawfish is unusable at present.
