... and after reading sawfish/wm/user.jl I discovered that the issue is more
complicated than that. I'm none of a scheme hacker, but as far as I can tell
custom-load-user-file function is failing to load the file that is successfuly
loaded by safe-load function few lines further down. I'm not seeing any
relevant error messages in any of the ~/*-errors files though (BTW. where is
sawfish's stderr going?).
