I was using sawfish with gnome but have upgraded my system and can not get it working with sawfish. The only reason I used gnome is because it was the first desktop environment I set up.
I tried using XFCE4 and although it works. I do not know how to set up properly
netorking ( networkmanager ) - delay in connecting to wifi, sometimes disconnects without reconnecting bluetooth ( blueman ) - can not get it automatically connect to bluetooth if present sound control ( volume-amixer ) - mapped buttons to keyboard but only works for laptop speakers, not bluetooth speakers
xfce4-panel - sometimes xfce4-session does not start and I can not use the logoff button.
1. Can someone help me iron out these issues. I don't mind changing desktop ( i.e. KDE ) or the programs ( networkmanager, blueman )
2. I feel like going back to Gnome but love the following functionality that sawfish brings
- Position windows - size, location, stacking - Run scripts on windows events i.e. Turn off mouse when in editor
- Intercept key presses and maybe do something else based on window status.
Can I get the following functionality without sawfish, that works ontop of any x desktop environment
3. How come you can't just run the command 'sawfish &' from inside gnome and the above functionality becomes available
4. Can someone update the wiki section about for the latest Gnome
