Hello Peter,

If you really need Sawfish 1.8.92 you have to install GTK >= 2.24 which
means in that case to waste a lot of time in compiling GTK or upgrading
to a more recent distribution (e.g. Ubuntu 11.10). If you wanna keep
your current distribution without compiling GTK then you should stick to
Sawfish 1.8.2.
