I was using solar.cs.siue.edu via a vnc gnome session and tried to run the sawfish config tool to tune my keyboard shortcuts.  The gnome control panel failed saying "sawfish isn't running".  I was wondering if someone else could try to access the sawfish config utility via gnome and see if you get the same error messege.

I have restarted my vnc session and the error still occurs.

Thanks,

I have tried this same task on another users vnc session and it works fine.  Any ideas on what might be causing a single users sawfish session to not be recognized by gnome?

Problem solved, changed my windowmanager to WindowMaker... Why did I ever change it in the first place :)
