sawfish-client evaluation

[Rafal Kolanski <rafalk cse unsw edu au>]

Hi everyone,

I've looked everywhere for an answer to this, but since I've found
nothing, you are my only hope :)

The problem:
sawfish-client does not give me ANY errors whatsoever, no matter what I
type in:
 user> t3w
 user> gfd
 user> bfsd
 user> s
 user> (imaginary)
It also does not save anything into .xsession-errors ... in fact, that
file is always blank (it didn't exist until I created it anyway).

This is preventing me from writing anything really useful, for example
experimenting with merlin's message.jl:
 user> (require 'merlin.message)
 merlin.message
 user> (fancy-message "hello" ())
(doesn't show message, doesn't say anything at all)

My .xsession (runs sawfish as gnome's window manager):

PATH=/usr/local/X11/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH

if [ -x `which xscreensaver` ]
        then  xscreensaver  -no-splash &
fi

if [ -x `which wmsetbg` ]
        then exec wmsetbg ~/.backgrounds/death.jpg &
fi

xset r rate 250 30 b 0
exec gnome-session


Sincerely,

Raf.

PS. Has anyone visited the sawfish wiki lately? I've been removing spam
from there every week or so, but new developments in sawfish seem very
rare in the past years.
