Sawfish is provided on an "as-is" basis, the Windows control panel would display a Sawfish tool if Sawfish provided one. We don't do any active development work to enhance Sawfish, however, we only fix packaging issues with it and so forth. Sawfish does provide a config tool, and installs an associated desktop file on /usr/share/gnome/wm-properties/, but perhaps something else is needed these days? Yes, you have to hook up the backend for gnome-window-properties, essentially. If you look at the gnome-window-properties source code it should be reasonably clear what needs coding. Seemes to be fixed in current CVS version of Sawfish. |
