Recent posts on the sawfish list suggest that there are some issues with
the Helix sawfish rpms.  One of the main ones concerns which version of
gdbm rep has been compiled against (1.7.3 vs. 1.8.x).

Try grabbing the rpms from the sawfish site (they've been compiled
against 1.7.3) and see if that fixes it. Or upgrade gdbm . . .

BTW--until the path issues get straightened out, you ought to stick with
either the Helix rpms or John's rpms.

Or be a real Slacker and compile 'em yourself!  ;-)
