Patches to modify sawfish-1.9.0.ebuild and source code file sawfish-1.9.0/src/windows.c

Since installing Firefox >17 and Thunderbird >17 it is impossible to resize window when using Sawfish WM (in my case sawfish-1.9.0)

I found bug description altogether with solution here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sawfish/+bug/1083260

I modified sawfish-1.9.0.ebuild to use patch according the description in the link above. Patches to modify sawfish-1.9.0.ebuild and the source code file sawfish-1.9.0/src/windows.c are in attachment.

After sawfish recompilation and x-server restart it works perfectly. Haven't notice any other issues or collisions.
I tested the source code modification also with sawfish-1.9.1 with same positive results.

Here my configuration:
sawfish-1.9.0
thunderbird-bin-17.0.4
