What is the current working directory of your Sawfish process?

If you're on Linux, you can check this in the /proc filesystem's entry
whose name is the PID of the process. On many other systems, if you
have lsof(1), you can use that to find out.

 $ ps | grep '[s]awfish$'
   815 ?        00:00:41 sawfish

 $ ls -l /proc/815/cwd
 lrwxrwxrwx   1  era     era        0 Apr 20 10:03 /proc/815/cwd -> /home/era

Alternatively:

 $ lsof -c sawfish -a -d cwd
 COMMAND PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE  SIZE  NODE NAME
 sawfish 815  era  cwd    DIR    3,8 40960 30145 /home/era

Just a stab in the dark; still, hope this helps,
