sawfish, dual head, x86-64



	Hi all,

I have tried to build sawfish on my AMD64 box (Fedora Core 4). The RPMS of
librep, rep-gtk, and sawfish are available at

ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/people/jan_kasprzak/sawfish-cvs/

	The sawfish package I have compiled seems to work, but I have
problem with dual-head setup. I have a dual-port VGA card, and run my
deskop as screens :0.0 and :0.1 (i.e. without Xinerama, just a display
with two screens). It seems that sawfish does not manage the windows
on the secondary head (:0.1), only the windows on the primary head.
Is this a bug or feature? Can sawfish be used on dual-head setup as well?

	I had to do the following changes in order to build those
packages - maybe they should be integrated to the main tree:

-------

Librep:
My autoconf does not know AM_LC_MESSAGES - I have simply commented it out:
--- librep/configure.in.orig    2005-11-14 16:22:33.000000000 +0100
+++ librep/configure.in 2005-11-14 16:21:42.000000000 +0100
@@ -593,7 +593,7 @@
 AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(rep_INTERFACE, ${libcurrent})

 dnl Hacks for libintl
-AM_LC_MESSAGES
+dnl AM_LC_MESSAGES
 VERSION="$version"
 PACKAGE="librep"
 DATADIRNAME="share"

-------

rep-gtk and sawfish:
both CVS versions contain too old config.sub (or etc/config.sub in Sawfish).
I have just replaced it by config.sub from my automake distribution. The
error printed is as follows:

> checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized
> configure: error: /bin/sh etc/config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu failed

-------

rep-gtk and sawfish:
These two packages complain that AM_PATH_REP in rep.m4 is underquoted (while
running ./autogen.sh:

> Running aclocal
> /usr/share/aclocal/rep.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_REP
>   run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
>   or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal

	Thanks,

-Yenya
