Sawfish packages in Ubuntu are ancient (1.5.3, while 1.9.1 is the latest stable version). It might aswell be that they are packaging wrong version of rep-gtk with it (Debian once had this problem). The best choice is to download the sources and install on your own, see: http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Compilation_from_source Regards, Chris -- Sawfish ML
