Okay, this whole GNOME2 crap has _GOT_ to stop. I'm really starting to get

It's bad enough that the new sawfish binaries don't read my old configuration
info for viewport/workspace information. But they don't even provide me with
the stuff to configure my wm back to the way I had it before. The
sawfish-configurator no longer allows me to add/delete viewports to the
desktop. All I can do is add workspaces. I like to work with one workspace
and a 2x2 grid of viewports (like I have fvwm2 set up at work). But I can't
even do this now. All I can do is add desktops. It would be okay, except
sawfish workspaces don't understand the 2x2 geometry that I like to work with.
It seems like viewports were removed from Sawfish in GNOME2.
Just take a look at:

In general, take a look at the Release Notes *before* upgrading.
Nobody forced you to do so, so don't claim so loud that you made a mistake.
You have the freedom to upgrade or not, don't ask more.
Has anybody found this configuration stuff yet? I've looked in my ~/.sawfish
directory, but I can't find what needs to be fixed. Thanks.
Hope my links help...
I think I've come up with a new slogan for the new GNOME2 setup:
"GNOME2 -- Just like the old GNOME, only uglier and less configurable!"
KDE's starting to look better and better.
Maybe it's your way to go?
