I have an ancient .sawfish/custom file that I keep copying from installation to installation and for me this file contains the edge flipping stuff. I absolutely don't remember how it was created (at that time it was sawfish-ui, let's say 8 years ago), but this is what I have in it, related to edge flipping: (custom-set-typed-variable (quote edge-flip-type) (quote viewport) (quote (choice viewport workspace))) (custom-set-typed-variable (quote edge-flip-only-when-moving) (quote ()) (quote boolean)) (custom-set-typed-variable (quote edge-flip-enabled) (quote t) (quote boolean) (quote edge-flip)) HTH, Daniel -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown
