Good it is going in xfce4 for you. i unfortunately have had no luck in
Xubuntu 1204... What did you put in your xinitrc file?

Hello.
I'm not sure if Sawfish will work Gnome3, Gnome3 is not exactly that
classic-WM-friendly type of environment. Though, you could try.
For Sawfish I'd either suggest a "pure" Sawfish session, Xfce or Mate.
Sawfish works very good with Xfce and Mate, I had the former running
for some time and the later now as my main environment. Getting it to
run with Xfce is a little bit tricky, as you need to write a custom
..xinitrc to launch Xfce with Sawfish. With Mate it's easier, as you
just need to replace a value in the Mate-Conf
(/desktop/mate/session/required-components I think).

Install gnome 2 alongside with gnome 3 not work. On fedora i use xfce4
with sawfish. But now also mate is in the repos for 16 17 and also in
18.

Hi folks,
Recent linux distros typically come with gnome 3 (unfortunately). If
I'd like to have sawfish how would I go about it? Install gnome 2
alongside with gnome 3? Will that work?
Or should I install MATE which is a gnome 2 fork?
If anyone managed to get sawfish on fedora 16 or fedora 17 I'd be
happy to hear your story!
Cheers,
Daniel
