Are you sure your pictures looked like t6nu's (that is, noise in the signal)? Got a screen shot? If so, I'm amazed. Does your CPU utilization look the same in both window managers? Get any errors/warnings under either window manager when starting fxtv up from an xterm? Running both window managers at the same resolution and color depth? Oh, could your X search path be set differently when you're running these different window managers? Could be that in one case you're picking up your app-default settings and the other you aren't. "env | egrep '^X.*(SEARCHPATH|RESDIR)'" to check. Also, see "fxtv -help" and try setting all of your tuner-/freqset-related settings manually via command-line options when running Sawfish.
