Package: sawfish
Version: 1:1.3+cvs20050105-1
Severity: normal
Sawfish doesn't manage the selection WM_S<screen-number>, so window managers
like openbox and metacity can't take over it and replace sawfish using
openbox --replace
If a user wants to switch to a different wm while running gnome-session, she
has to run gnome-session-properties, remove the restart tag from sawfish and
call
killall sawfish ; openbox
from command line. This surely isn't quite intuitive.
Greetings,
Sven
