Description:   Opened: 2003-09-28 02:40 0000
The file /usr/share/gnome/wm-properties/Sawfish.desktop is incorrect after
sawfish is installed.  See patch below.

Version of gnome-desktop is 2.2.2
Version of Sawfish is 1.3

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click menu item Destop Preferences | Windows
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Error box with "Can't start the preferences application for your window manager.
Window manager 'Sawfish' has not registered a configuration tool"

Expected Results:  
Should run sawfish-ui

The following diff on /usr/share/gnome/wm-properties/Sawfish.desktop, applied as
a patch, fixes the problem.  I don't know if _all_ the changes are necessary,
but they work.  Config options are apparently in the wrong sections.  The
working changes were pulled from sawfish on a box running Debian testing (sarge).

------- Comment #1 From foser (RETIRED) 2003-10-12 10:49:38 0000 -------
fixed 1.3 to use the the .desktop from the tarball instead of our own. Should
fix this.

Thanks for your report.
