With all due respect, this is a very unhelpful thing to do. The problem
was not resolved according to the log in the BTS, and until it is there
is no good reason to close the bug. "It shouldn't be a problem, although
I don't know exactly what's causing it to break" is IMHO not good
enough. I hope brushing off bug reporters in this way isn't common
practice.
To the bug reporter: section 6 of the sawfish FAQ, in
/usr/share/doc/sawfish/FAQ.gz, answers your question, and *does* close
this bug.
