Hi Jim,

It's a little weird.  If I start panel in my .xsession before sawfish,
everything is snappy like you'd expect.  [My test of snappiness is
dragging a window across the screen: whether it jerks across or drags
smoothly].  If I instead start panel from an xterm, it seems to make
window dragging jerky and things are generally sluggish.  I don't know
why...

So, the only remaining issue is where does Gnome get its window
manager list from?  It only lists Windowmaker, and if I try and add
sawfish it segfaults.  I would have thought this should be handled by
the sawfish install scripts, but maybe not.

Thanks,

Neil.
