Re: [Sawfish] installing sawfish in xubuntu

[Tomasz Gajewski <tomga@xxxxx>]

The package that should be installed is named 'dh-autoreconf' which I
wrongly written as 'dh-autoconf'.

As with your problems with "empty" sawfish session I can't help
you. Currently I'm using

sawfish --replace

after starting xfce session and as I suspend and resume without
restarting often it doesn't bite me much.
