Is this really a sawfish-only problem though? Googling for:
"flash player settings can't click"
shows that this problem pops up in a variety of environments.
I wonder what xfwm4 does to get this right. I searched through xfwm4's
commit history, but [Ff]lash is not explicitly mentioned.
The only work-around I know of (I've had this problem for years) is
using the settings manager on adobe's site:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html
Hope that helps,
Rafal Kolanski.
