I am guessing the issue here is that Rodrigo is setting environmental
variables in .bashrc or .bash_profile, but those files aren't sourced
by gdm when starting a session. As such, sawfish only receives the
environmental variables set system-wide in /etc/environment Try
setting your SSH variables in there and see if it works.
