+BUGS
+****
+
+If you think you have found a bug, first check for newer versions of sawfish 
+and/or librep/rep-gtk and update, if it still happens with the latest versions: 
+
+Report Bugs in the GNOME BugZilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org), we 
+prefer this over the mailing-list, because it's easier to find older
+reports in the BugZilla Database than in the Mailinglist-Archives
+
+As product choose: Other -> Sawfish
+
+Then choose the version you're using: 
+	- pre-1.3.x (obsolete)
+	- 1.3.x 
+	- 1.5.x
+
+At last choose the sawfish component you want to report the bug for:
+	- config tool
+	- general
+	- theme editor (obsolete)
+	- window-manager
+
+When reporting bugs try to include as much relevant information as
+possible:
+
+ - Most importantly: a reliable method for triggering the bug. (Once
+   the bug can be reproduced it's often straightforward to fix.)
+
+ - If you hear beeping sounds while the problem manifests itself it may
+   mean that sawfish's Lisp interpreter is printing error messages to
+   the standard error stream (often stored in ~/.xsession-errors or
+   ~/.gnomerc-errors). Include any such messages in your bug report.
+
+ - If sawfish crashes it will try to print information describing the
+   position at which it did so, look for any `backtrace' messages in
+   the error output and include them
+
+ - The operating system type and version (including distribution details)
+
+ - How you installed sawfish, e.g. compiled from source, from binary
+   packages, etc.. If from packages, where did you get the packages
+   from, and what are their version numbers?
+
+ - Any other information you feel may be relevant. E.g. the values of
+   customization options that you feel may affect the problem
+
+Also please make sure to not report bugs multiple times, first check if
+there's already a report for your issue. If it already has been reported,
+simply reply to the existing report, rather than opening a new one.
