I run an up-to-date version of Debian sid. My window-manager is sawfish. I don't use all of Gnome, but I use one piece of it---gnome-panel and some associated applications.
This combination has served me extremely well but after a recent upgrade I get an error from the desktop guide applet (the pager) when I start X. The error-message says that I am not running a gnome-compliant window manager (sawfish?). And indeed the pager is not working as it did---it refuses to display more than one workspace. Does anyone know what caused the change or how I might get the old behaviour back? Thanks very much, Jim
