I've been using sawfish for a long time, the trick for enabling seems to keep changing over the years. I have a -STABLE system running in a VMware virtual machine with a ports tree that was portsnap'ed within the past couple of days. I've installed the gnome2 metaport. On the advice of the FreeBSD Gnome FAQ, I've killed metacity and started sawfish (so far so good), then done gnome-session-save --gui which cases a number of messages like this: Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0". but I don't get any dialog boxes w/ errors. After exiting and restarting gnome I still end up running metacity. I'm starting gnome from the console using startx and a .xinitrc that's just exec gnome-session Is there a better (functional) way to get it to remember the change? Thanks! g.
