Description of problem: A bug discussed quite extensively at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122086 is still present. It does not affect metacity, which likely ignores those messages, but other window managers conforming to EWMH standard are messed up. A patch referenced in the quoted discussion, i.e. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=21124&action=view still applies and resolves the issue. For a convenience attached is the same patch rediffed against libwnck-2.6.0.1 sources but the only change is in diff headers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libwnck-2.6.0.1-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put into ~/.sawish/rc a line like (set-number-of-workspaces 4) 2. Start sawfish; if running metacity wm you can do that by typing in a terminal window killall metacity && sawfish & 3. Make sure that you have some windows open in some workspaces and start mousing around in "Workspace Switcher" on a gnome-panel. You will be screwed in no time at all. Getting a window totally outside of display bounds, so it cannot be even "Alt-dragged" into a position, is really easy.

Oops, a "require" should be in ~/.sawish/rc so a minimal content of this file for "Steps to Reproduce" would be: (require 'sawmill-defaults) (set-number-of-workspaces 4)
I've just committed the patch upstream, we'll get it when we pull in the 2.6.1 tarballs: Upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122086
I shouldn't really have close this as UPSTREAM - its a bad enough bug that it warrants getting an FC2 update out for it rather than just fixing for FC3

kas: bug #109623, bug #109624 and bug #125543 all look like the same issue to me - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

libwnck-2.6.0.1-3 has been pushed to FC2 updates with the fix. A mail should hit fedora-announce-list soon with the details. This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/ Oh, and 2.6.0.1-4 in rawhide has the fix too.
