I install an updated SVN version in a local dir on my home, and I execute it in a Xephyr instance with a different user (the ~/.xsession point the binary in my home). If it's a C patch I reinstall it completely (make install), if it's a Lisp patch, I simply modify the .jl files and restart Sawfish (if both .jl and .jlc files are available, it will load the more recent of the two). -- Andrea
