Thanks for that. I've read a number of messages, but I think yours is the first set of "complete instructions". (maybe I missed some in the archive files)

I'd add two comments:

1. From the example above: If "kill 4111;sleep 2;sawfish &"
doesn't work, try "kill 4111;sawfish &".
(I also tried "kill 4111;sleep 4;sawfish &" without luck.)
FWIW, mine is a K7/1466.

2. If it works, the window title bar will change. Don't close that
window. Exit gnome and save settings.

Now all I need is to bring back gnomecc...

For now however, KDE seems to get the job done for me.
