FWIW, whenever I had trouble with Gnome config after upgrades (never with sawfish, usually with Gnome panels) I removed (well, saved out of the way) .gnome2, .gnome2_private, .gconf, .gconfd, then reconfigured the panels and whatever few Gnome customizations I had. It was always *way* faster than to chase what's wrong in there. To do that logout, switch to a virtual console (Ctrl-Alt-F2, for instance), login as your normal user, kill gconfd-2 and only after that move/remove the above directories. Then logout from the virtual console and return to the graphical session (Alt-F1), login as usual and redo your customizations. Not exactly a savvy power user advice, but I hope it helps. :-) Mihai
