RE: [Sawfish] Sawfish usage poll

[Allin Cottrell <cottrell@xxxxxxx>]

I don't use any of the four features mentioned in the 
questionnaire.

The features of sawfish that I value the most, and that are 
not found in other WMs (or not at all easily) are

* The ability to set specific WM treatment of individual 
programs or classes of program. E.g. I like an analog clock 
and run xclock; with Sawfish I can prevent xclock from being 
decorated with title bar and so on, which looks stupid and 
ugly.

* The ability to make particular programs start on specified 
virtual desktops. You can do this (sort of) with metacity plus 
devilspie, but it's much clunkier than sawfish.

* The ability to define root-window popups with ease: I like 
having middle-mouse bring up a task list.

* And I've probably forgotten a few other nice things that I 
take for granted with sawfish, and whose absence makes me 
curse when I'm forced to use another WM.
