Personally I like sawfish better. 1) Tried that. The result is the same. 2) sawfish doesn't do sticky-focus like I want. E can be configured to raise a window by clicking anywhere in it. Sawfish will only raise a window if you click the titlebar. At least that was the situation when I last used it. > > > > Except that doesn't solve the problem.

Ah, we have a winner. When first trying to get XFree86 4.? working, startx would fail on 'SubSection "extmod"'. I commented it out, only to see it fail on 'Section "InputDevice"'. I cleaned out some XF3.3.6 stuff and started getting the error which prompted this question. I'd uncommented the extmod stuff in XF86Config, but not XF86Config-4 (which I hadn't actually been using until that XF3.3.6 stuff was gone.) Thank you, thank you, thank you. Greg
