Well spotted. I just applied your patch, thanks,

Workspace Geometry

  John Harper has said "workspace-geometry no longer exists". It is a
perfectly reasonable option and is still supported by Gnome2. If I use
the Workspace Switcher applet and set the rows to two I get the desired
behavior, but I see no reason why I should have to live with a pager I
never use to have the functionality I desire. I don't personally use
Sawfish standalone, but I have read others do. If using Sawfish stand
alone, then they can't use the Workspace Switcher applet to set the
rows. So has it be completely removed or has it morphed into another
option?

Fixed version of services-menu.jl

Hi!

A fixed version of services-menu.jl is available at
http://sawfish.skylab.org/SawfishLibraryServicesMenu

The version i originally uploaded was not interoperable with stephen's
fixed version of services.jl anymore. Also a Problem with keybindings
was corrected.

Installation problem

Hi all, i have the following problem installing Sawfish 2.0.

I get these lines when i run the configure script

configure: WARNING: Can't load rep's libglade wrapper, not building themer
configure: WARNING: Can't load rep's gnome wrappers

I reinstalled rep-gtk-0.16 and i tried to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH env variable. I also tried to set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the path of the installation but i still have those errors.

What else can I do ?

thank's a lot

trying to unsubscribe

Trying to unsubscribe but it hasn't seem to have done the trick yet

Is there a prefered method of unsubscribing apart from the word in the Subject 
line?

Cheers

No Layers in sawfish 1.0.1 and 1.1

Hi!

Somehow the layers functionality that i was used to disappeared from
sawfish at some time in the past.

I used to define a window matcher setting depth=16 or depth=15 for
some windows and those windows would always be above all other
windows. The only way to raise a window over those windows used to be
to set it to a different layer (== depth?).

Nowadays autoraise moves the windows on top of each other, no matter
which layer i defined. If i look at the task overview in the gnome
pager, a window with depth=0 will sometimes be above a window with
depth=19 or higher.

Can anyone give me a hint how i can get the old functionality back?

I used to have sawfish 1.0.1 with librep and rep-gtk version 0.15
something (debian testing), and now i'm using sawfish 1.1 and
rep/rep-gtk 0.16.1-2, both with gnome-1.4, although there are some
gnome2 libraries installed (for reasons that are unclear to me).

The behaviour is the same with both sawfish versions.

I'm mixing debian unstable and testing (with "testing" being the default
distribution), so it might be that some other libraries (gtk, gnome,
etc.) are in conflict with each other. libgtk2 maybe? or those ominous
gnome2 libs?

viewports -> workspaces

Uhh I think a need a little push in the right direction.

I got the patch and made new edge-flip

;; edge-flip.jl -- move viewports by pushing pointer against screen
edges
;; $Id: edge-flip.jl,v 1.26.2.1 2002/04/22 06:20:32 jsh Exp $

I also got workspace-grid from 
http://sawfish.skylab.org/WorkspaceGrid

I put these files in ~/.sawfish/lisp and added to my ~/.sawfishrc

(require 'sawfish.wm.ext.workspace-grid)
(require 'sawfish.wm.ext.edge-flip)

(define-special-variable edge-flip-enabled t
    "Select the next desktop when the pointer hits screen edge.")

(define-special-variable edge-flip-type 'workspace
 "Control what hitting the screen edge selects, workspace or viewport.")

(define-special-variable edge-flip-only-when-moving t
   "Only flip when interactively moving a window.")

(define-special-variable edge-flip-delay 250
   "Milliseconds to delay before edge flipping.")

I got back 
sawfish-client -f restart

Keys are interpreted several times

Hi. 

I have bound many commands to keys, like this

  (bind-keys global-keymap "F10" '(system "xterm&"))

and it works as expected most of the time. But once in a while, the
command will be executed several (three, actually) times and I end up
with too many instances of the application. At other times, the
command is not executed at all.

It seems to be timing related in that the problem manifests itself
mainly when the machine is busy - I am currently running cdparanoia a
lot and this has caused the problem to get much more severe than in
the past.

This problem is observed on a Mandrake 8.1 upgraded somewhat towards
8.2. The Sawfish version is claimed to be 1.0, I do not know if
Mandrake apply custom patches.

I have tried everything I could think of, and the problem will just
not go away. I even tried trimming ~/.sawfish/ to just an rc file with
the above bind-keys statement.

Is this a known problem, and is there a known cure? I have been unable
to find this mentioned anywhere - but then again, I was also unable to
search the list archive.

My next step is probably to either compile Sawfish from scrath, to
re-install with Mandrake 9.0 beta, or to find a new window manager.

I've noticed this problem too, since I've installed the gnome-panel 2
Work fine with the 1.4 panel.
