I am guessing the issue here is that Rodrigo is setting environmental variables in .bashrc or .bash_profile, but those files aren't sourced by gdm when starting a session. As such, sawfish only receives the environmental variables set system-wide in /etc/environment Try setting your SSH variables in there and see if it works. --- -- Sawfish ML
