Bug#251264: Debian bug #251264 - Additional Information: Bug related to use of Sawfish

[Matthew Exley]

Marc,

I have been affected by the bug you describe. According to several 
reports on bugzilla.gnome.org and elsewhere, this is an unwanted 
interaction with Sawfish:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140241


you'll note that the Gnome folk appear to be blaming Sawfish for the 
problem, wheras the Debian Sawfish maintainer appears to believe there's 
nothing wrong with Sawfish:

Current work-arounds involve switching from Sawfish to Metacity, or 
accepting that you'll have to re-shuffle your panels around every time 
you log in :-(
