Hi Joe,
   I had a check for librep on the box, it *is* librep-0.16.1_1 that I have.

With this in mind:

1] Should I still think about recompiling Sawfish?

2] You mentioned in your earlier reply that your use sysutils/portupgrade for 
this purpose, how would I use portupgrade in this scenario? That is, presumably 
as cvsup of my ports tree didn't flag Sawfish as requiring an upgrade, how do I 
use portupgrade to re-compile Sawfish?

3] And a bit off-topic here, I did see that XFree86-4 Server had an available 
upgrade, so I ran portupgrade -R for this. Do I need to re-run XFree86 -
configure for XFree86-4 again?

Thank you very much for the time, Joe. Hope to hear from you again soon.

Stacey
