Sawfish for Debian ------------------ The sawfish package includes sawfish.el, written by Dave Pearson , which is normally distributed from his web site http://www.davep.org/sawfish/ For each upstream release you need to restart sawfish with : sawfish-client -f restart I'll close all bugs report related to this feature. Also if you have this error: $ sawfish-ui error--> (file-error "No such file or directory" "gui/gtk") This is because you have mixed up Ximian packages and Debian packages. You need to replace all Ximian packages related to sawfish by the Debian packages (rep, rep-gtk, librep9). Why this doesn't work ? Because Ximian doesn't follow the Debian policy (Chapter 12.1) : If a program needs to specify an _architecture specification string_ in some place, the following format should be used: - where ' is one of the following: i386, alpha, arm, m68k, powerpc, sparc and ' is one of: linux, gnu. Use of _gnu_ in this string is reserved for the GNU/Hurd operating system. I'll close all bugs report related to this feature too. Since GNOME 2 use AA (Anti Aliased) fonts, you should remove/disable usage of libgdkxft0. If rep take 100% CPU when you try to access to custom popup menu (with middle mouse click on the root window), you should install the gnome-control-center package or forget to access this menu entry.
