I think originally it was a combination of the bonobo and WM (possibly
Evo too?).  I do know that at the time I had to update to Sawfish CVS,
and I think I also had to update bonobo, now that I think of it.  I'm
using the latest CVS bonobo.  I think the problem was fixed before the
bonobo 1.0.7 release.  What version of bonobo are you testing against?
