Bug#851611: sawfish: Annoying error message "File error: No such file or directory, gnome"

[Derek Upham]

The root cause is that /etc/X11/sawfish/site-init.d/00debian.jl is 
attempting to load using


 (require 'gnome)

and /usr/share/sawfish/lisp/gnome.jl does not exist.  Instead

 /usr/share/sawfish/lisp/gnome-int.jl

exists, a symlink pointing to 


 sawfish/wm/integration/gnome.jl

The package maintainer can either update the symlink name to be 
consistent, or update the 00debian.jl file to use


 (require 'gnome-int)

Bug#851611: sawfish: Annoying error message "File error: No such file or directory, gnome"

[Carlos]

I'm glad to see sawfish is in Debian again!

About this annoying message, here's a workaround for the sawfish user:

  1. cd ~/.sawfish/lisp   (create directory first, if necessary)
  2. ln -s /usr/share/sawfish/lisp/sawfish/wm/integration/gnome.jlc

The mantainer should create a similar symlink from /usr/share/sawfish/lisp to
solve this bug.

Yes, it is annoying.  I will talk with the upstream about it, to find a
solution and a workaround.

Kind regards

Bug#851611: sawfish: Annoying error message "File error: No such file or directory, gnome"

[Awtul]

Package: sawfish
Version: 1:1.11.90-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I get this error message every time I log in Sawfish:
"Error:
(Click to dismiss. Also printed to stderr)
File error: No such file or directory, gnome".

It's really annoying having to click in the pop-up window on each new log in. 
That's why I have set the bug severity to 'important'.

Regards, Awtul
