Except for the edge-flipping issue, which is solved thanks to the respondents, it hasn't given me any trouble with Gnome2. I'm using sawfish version 1.3 from unstable.

Copy it (unzipped of course) to ~/.sawfishrc and uncomment to your satisfaction. Most of the options are available from the configurator, but a few (edge flipping, box vs. opaque move and resizing, viewports, extra window placement options, etc.) are only available here. -- First Impressions are Bunk. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm running Sawfish 1.3 with Sun's GNOME 2.0 packages on a Solaris machine - trying to deal with that piece of garbage Metacity was enough to make me switch back to CDE. If you add the line (require 'sawfish.wm.ext.edge-flip) to your ~/.sawfishrc edge-flipping will be available, and should show up in the configuration tool under Workspaces. I found that using the GNOME pager with a single horizontal row of workspaces screwed things up and I had to add (setq overriden-num-workspace-rows 1) to be able to flip past the left and right edges instead of only top and bottom. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

That's the ability > to drag a window between workspaces. [snip] I managed to get this working by manually copying the appropriate lines out of a ~/.sawfish/custom file on a machine on which edge-flipping does work. Here are the relevant lines: (custom-set-typed-variable (quote edge-flip-only-when-moving) (quote t) (quote boolean)) (custom-set-typed-variable (quote edge-flip-type) (quote workspace) (quote (choice viewport workspace))) (custom-set-typed-variable (quote edge-flip-enabled) (quote t) (quote boolean) (quote sawfish.wm.ext.edge-flip)) After I added those and restarted sawfish I can drag windows between desktops. As far as I can tell there is NO way to set this from the sawfish customization tool. The only reason I had the lines above in my "custom" file, I believe, is because that machine was upgraded from a previous sawfish installation instead of starting from scratch. Version wise the machines are identical. #2 is still a mystery, i.e., why no interface from Nautilus to the sawfish customization tool?

Sawfish 1.3 + Gnome2 questions?
A couple of questions for those running sid with Gnome2 and Sawfish. 1) I can't figure out how to turn edge-flipping on. That's the ability to drag a window between workspaces. I use that feature quite heavily and am loathe to use the little teeny things in the pager to try and accomplish this. I read some discussion on the edge-flipping capbility in the sawfish bugzilla database and my interpretation was that it was removed, but the discussion was from last year and a poll showed overwhelming support for the feature so I'm hoping it didn't disappear. 2) Using Nautilus, I can't seem to get the sawfish configurator. If, for example, I click on preferences:///Windows I get: --- Cannot start the preferences application for your window manager Window manager "Sawfish" has not registered a configuration tool --- Of course I can middle-click on the background to get to the sawfish configurator, but why isn't it working via Gnome2? Relevant (maybe) version info (via apt-show-versions): sawfish/unstable uptodate 1:1.3-1 nautilus/unstable uptodate 2.2.2-1 Thanks, Gary -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
