Stacey, >1] Should I still think about recompiling Sawfish? I missed what your problems were, but when I installed Gnome2, I was switching back and forth between Sawfish and Metacity window managers. I don't know if this might help, but the best way I found was to put 'sawfish &' or 'metacity &' before the 'exec gnome-session' in my .initrc. Recompiling never hurts, though. >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? If you have used 'portsdb -Uu' after your port cvsups, then 'portupgrade -rR gnome2' works, ie upgrades all depending and dependent ports in gnome2, in the correct order. >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? I haven't needed to. The configure just produces the config text file. I just save that file everywhere I go, and modify by hand.
