I'm not sure now (it's already 12 months ago) if librep/rep-gtk 0.90x + sawfish 1.3x will work. I can't remember for sure, but one of both is blocking sawifsh 1.3.5x, either way there has also been a hotfix release, 1.3.5.3, because of an major bug which prevented startup on several systems. Well you may cherrypick sawfish 1.5.3 from unstable. ... A bug regarding something wrong with the font module. But has been fixed in 1.5.0. There are now 4 new releases, so it will take some time, until they hit Debian. Especially sawfish-pager ... it's only available as v0.6 in oldstable. > I know there are newer versions...but I don't want to start > compiling.

I'm running testing i386. Sid. With selfmade packages from the latest ones.
