sawfish in fc3

i don't know if this was answered or not, but sawfish is available for
fc3.  i have it and it runs, i'm just having a little trouble with the
workspace/viewport section

go to http://xwinman.org. he's got it all.  there's a sawfish list and
they're very responsive and helpful

when you get it, compiled et alia, you run it like this

bash# ps auxww | grep metacity
root  5464 0.1 2.9 blah blah blah 0:04 /usr/bin/metacity --sm id blah

say it's pid 5464

bash# kill 5464; /usr/local/bin/sawfish &

boom!!, it runs

if you want to keep it, logout and click the "save session" checkbox ,
then click 'ok', restart xwindows, i use runlevel 3 so it boots to the
command prompt, it makes it easier to install nvidia drivers, you can
set it from --main menu->system settings->login screen   the greeter
section, i think
i did it the hard way, editing some xinit file i don't remember which

all the sawfish setting can be accessed thru the sawfish-ui program in
the sawfish install directory
usu. /usr/local/sawfish, or thru the .sawfishrc file that you copy into
your home dir from a file called "OPTIONS" , like 

bash# cp OPTIONS .sawfishrc,

and then just uncomment the sections you want to use

if you want to retain the   double-click-title bar->maximize-window
feature, just go to sawfish-ui and find the keyboard shortcuts section
and instead of "global", pick 'title', then find button1-off2
and change the function to maximize-window-toggle
it's in the 'bindings' tab in sawfish-ui, where 'context' is changed to
'title'

anyway, i hope that works, oh yeah, you can get the cool clean theme from
the sawfish homepage link, it puts the window buttons back in the right
place
