It is already set to "standard-error". Setting it to "screen" doesn't 
change the (lack of) behaviour. I have noticed that once in a while it 
displays an error to the console if I just type in garbage ... possibly 
when it's the first time I run it in a session. It only ever does this 
once, subsequent statements do not generate an error.

It does not seem to matter whether I run "sawfish-client" or
"sawfish-client -".

I don't get it. This is not my machine (uni machine), so I'm just a user 
on it, but it's running sawfish 1.3 and the binary is dated june 2004. 
The errors have to go somewhere though?! A setting that suppresses 
.xsession-errors maybe? I haven't ever seen one.

Heh, just go to

and click on "page revisions" to see what type of junk has been removed :/
