I was using sawfish with gnome but have upgraded my system and can not get
it working with sawfish. The only reason I used gnome is because it was the
first desktop environment I set up.
I tried using XFCE4 and although it works. I do not know how to set up
properly
netorking ( networkmanager ) - delay in connecting to wifi, sometimes
disconnects without reconnecting
bluetooth ( blueman ) - can not get it automatically connect to bluetooth
if present
sound control ( volume-amixer ) - mapped buttons to keyboard but only works
for laptop speakers, not bluetooth speakers
xfce4-panel - sometimes xfce4-session does not start and I can not use the
logoff button.
1. Can someone help me iron out these issues. I don't mind changing desktop
( i.e. KDE ) or the programs ( networkmanager, blueman )
2. I feel like going back to Gnome but love the following functionality
that sawfish brings
- Position windows - size, location, stacking
- Run scripts on windows events i.e. Turn off mouse when in editor
- Intercept key presses and maybe do something else based on window
status.
Can I get the following functionality without sawfish, that works ontop of
any x desktop environment
3. How come you can't just run the command 'sawfish &' from inside gnome
and the above functionality becomes available
4. Can someone update the wiki section about for the latest Gnome
