I've been using Sawfish instead of Metacity as my window manager, without trouble. Starting after emerging Gnome 2.4 stable yesterday, clicking in the Gnome pager applet to switch from one workspace to another causes Sawfish-managed windows to change position at random. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Gnome 2.4. 2. Use Sawfish 1.3 instead of Metacity. 3. Configure two workspaces using Sawfish control panel. 4. Add Gnome pager applet to a Gnome panel. 5. Beginning with workspace "a", open a Gnome terminal window. 6. Click on the Gnome pager applet to switch to workspace "b". 7. Click on the Gnome pager applet to switch back to workspace "a". 8. Terminal window is no longer in its original position. Actual Results: Windows change position at random (sometimes all the way off-screen). Expected Results: Windows stay put. Others have experienced this problem: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122086 I have verified that applying the patch included in the above bug report to the x11-libs/libwnck-2.4.0.1 package resolves this problem.
