Sawfish for Debian (Gnome version)
----------------------------------

The sawfish-gnome package includes sawfishl.el, written by Dave Pearson
<davep@davep.org>, which is normally distributed from his web site
http://www.acemake.com/hagbard/.

To install Gnome menu with popup-root-menu put these lines in your
~/.sawfishrc

  (require 'sawfish.wm.gnome.menus)
    (setq apps-menu gnome-menus)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

For each upstream release you need to restart Sawfish with :

sawfish-client -f restart

Because Sawfish load his lisp code on demand, each new version doesn't work
with previous lisp code (ie: popup menu doesn't work).

I'll close all bugs report related to this feature.

Also if you have this error:

$ sawfish-ui 
error--> (file-error "No such file or directory" "gui/gtk")

This is because you have mixed up Ximian packages and Debian packages.
You need to replace all Ximian packages related to sawfish by the Debian
packages (rep, rep-gtk, rep-gtk-gnome, librep9).

Why this doesn't work ?

Because Ximian doesn't follow the Debian policy (Chapter 12.1) :

     If a program needs to specify an _architecture specification string_
     in some place, the following format should be used:

                    <arch>-<os>

     where <arch>' is one of the following: i386, alpha, arm, m68k,
     powerpc, sparc and <os>' is one of: linux, gnu.  Use of _gnu_ in this
     string is reserved for the GNU/Hurd operating system.

I'll close all bugs report related to this feature too.
