I installed sawfish about 3 wks ago, and have installed a couple of revisions of gnome panel since then. However, if I bring up panel after starting sawfish, dragging a window becomes jerky and slow. I don't remember this behaviour in WindowMaker. Somtimes, but not always, panel complains about Sawfish not being Gnome compliant. So I suspect it is trying to make up for the supposed non-compliance by hooking into a lot of events it wouldn't otherwise. Other panel-related things are sluggish too, like menu drawing and tracing them with the mouse. Without panel, everything is snappy, but Sawfish is a bit limited :-(
I know Sawfish is compliant, so what could be wrong? I'm running the latest debian unstable, XFree 4.1. Neil.
