sawfish 1.6.1
I updated OpenOffice last night using the openoffice.org distro to
replace the fedora set, and on the next boot sawfish wouldn't start.
Trying "sawfish" in a shell I got:
> sawfish
error--> (file-error "No such file or directory"
"/usr/share/applications/openoffice.org3-startcenter.desktop")
>
Looking at this file I found that it was a symlink to a file no longer
present, so the error is real, but I consider that for sawfish to turn
up its toes at this discovery is a bug, as removal of the bad link
allowed normal operation - the file is not _needed_, just effectively
corrupt.
Errors/events like this need to be trapped, a message generated, and
sawfish moves on to the next step, leaving whatever damage in place and
damn the consequences.
Of course "message generated" is a whole debate in itself :-)
