You need to delete the directory as root, then have it be recreated when you start X as stacey. Make sure you're using the Xwrapper to start X, and not some other hack. Only when the sawfish socket is created will you be able to configure sawfish.=20 Also you should _never_ run X as root (in my opinion).
