I gzipped it to save bandwidth. But you can anyway retrieve it at: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/sawfish-list/2007-January/binyqadcYpDgg.bin > > >In order to write your own sawfishrc you're supposed to know at least a > >bit lisp programming, > > yes i know basic Lisp programming & i understand Lisp Macros too :-) > Well, then you're done ;-). Unfortunately the main weak point of sawfish is the lack of exhaustive/complete documentation, Librep (the lisp dialect adopted by sawfish) is a combination of Emacs Lisp and Scheme, so if you know one of these it shouldn't be a big problem to start to hack. But if you are a lisp newbie, it's very difficult to understand the very terse librep/sawfish documentation. Apart from this, I regard sawfish still the best window manager, because of its adoption of a complete programming language (and because I like lisp). Scwm (http://scwm.sourceforge.net/) was cool too, it adopted Scheme as the basic language but it seems dead since 2000. > > >or you can use the sawfish-ui interface. > > can't , i get an error when i try to run "sawfish-ui". i am running > Windowmaker right now & whe i try the "swafish-ui" in "xterm" then it > outputs the following error: > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sawfish-ui > > (process:4690): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library > > (rep:4690): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. > Using the fallback 'C' locale. > error: can't connect to socket /tmp/.sawfish-arch/arch:0.0 > _X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for arch:6000: Name or > service not known > *** Error: can't connect to sawfish on display, :0.0 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Could it be a distribution problem (maybe some GTK unresolved dependency)? > > >--Stefano Sabatini > >Linux user number 337176 (see http://li.count.org) > > that web-site does not exist. i think you are referring to: > http://counter.li.org/ Ooops... I've been using that signature for months, thanks for make me aware of it ;-). Cheers -- Stefano Sabatini Linux user number 337176 (see http://counter.li.org)
