Multiple workspaces with Sawfish and Gnome, session management and navigation

[Neilen Marais <brick@adept.co.za>]

Hi.

I'm running woody, with its attendand Gnome packages.  I use the 
Sawfish window manager, with 9 workspaces, with columns and rows both 
set to 1, as per the workspaces configuration tab under sawfish in the 
gnome control center.

This works fairly niceley, but there are two things I can't get quite 
right:

1) Session management
2) Keybindings to take me to each workspace directly.

1) The session management kinda works, but when I log in again, 
everything is always put on the first desktop.  Also, sometimes it 
remembers the settings of my aterms, sometimes it don't...

I remember long ago I was using icewm-gnome and gnome, and the 
sessionmanagement was better.  I like sawfish though, and can't use 
icewm due to some obscure focus bugs it has in pointer focus mode.

2) I can find options in the sawfish bit of gnome control center to 
take me to the previous, and next, workspaces, and have bound them to 
keys.  I can't, however, find anything to go directly to desktop x, so 
I can bind them to M-C-x.

Help appreciated

Thanks
