[ tried on -questions and received nil ... trying here ] hello all, I've run into a bugger of a problem with GNOME and sawfish that I have no clues on how to solve. It seems like this problem began happening once our ports tree started tracking GNOME 1.2 (I don't know if this is a GNOME problem or a sawfish problem--which makes it that much more difficult to debug). When I go into X with 'startx' GNOME will start up and as sawfish starts up the xterms, etc. that I had saved in the last session, all of their title bars and window decorations are totally black. See http://members.home.com/jjreynold/sawfish.jpg for what this looks like. Everything acts normally--I can kill windows, move them around, etc.--just no themes, no decorations, no nothing. Compounding this wierd behavior, if I chose "Log out" from the main panel menu, sawfish/GNOME no longer give me the option to save the current session or to back out of logging out. I used to see a dialog box come up making sure that I wanted to logout (with the "save session" checkbox), but now, all I see is the animation graying out the screen, then all windows are killed and I'm bailed back to the console. In order to get my normal window colors (I use the simple "gradient" theme that comes by default with sawfish) I have to go into gnomecc, temporarily change to window maker, or E, then back to sawfish. Once sawfish is "restarted" like this, everything seems normal including all titlebars and window decorations. I have CVSup'ed ports very recently (last night) and COMPLETELY rebuilt GNOME and sawfish (1.28.1) [i.e. I deleted EVERY component needed by GNOME or its libraries and recompiled everything]. All to no avail. In desparation, thinking that some bizzare file/parameter under the .sawfish directory or .gnome directory was just corrupted, I created a totally new user on my system and entered GNOME with a pure vanilla setup. Switched to sawfish as the window manager, exitted X and restarted--same problem! So, I don't think that it is some wierd config setting but with all the junk in those directories, one never knows. My .xinitrc is trivial--"gnome-session". I do not have a .sawfishrc file. Just in case it matters, I'm using the SVGA X server with an Matrox Marvel G200 AGP card and X 3.3.6. Is anybody else seeing this problem? -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= John Reynolds Chandler Capabilities Engineering, CDS, Intel Corporation jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com My opinions are mine, not Intel's.
