Works for me here with the same version of sawfish on a system with a
current set of packages. Can you confirm whether the problems still
persists with you please?

Comment 2 Alberto Cardinalli Jr. 2004-04-17 01:14:06 UTC
Nils, sawfish is running here now, without problems. This occurred
after some updates using yum .... Thanks anyway ...
