After I configure XFree4.0, I started GNOME with Sawfish. The GNOME desktop icons are cutoff at the tops. These are the icons for Home directory, www.redhat.com, Red Hat Support, etc.
what do you mean by "cutoff at the top". Can you describe a little more what this is doing?
What resolution are you running? I can not reproduce at 1600X1200 1280X1024 or 800X600... Maybe you could take a screen shot and attach it to the bug?
I'd guess this is because the fonts were screwed up in XFree4 in the early betas. Assuming fixed.
