        You should be able to run it from a terminal window (xterm or
gnome-terminal) in the X display. You may have to kill off whatever
window manager is currently running (in fact, I'd recommend waiting
to do that until after you've transfered focus to the terminal window),
then just type:

        sawmill

        in the terminal window. If you have to go to one of the
virtual screens, you'll need to set the DISPLAY environment 
variable first (most likely value to work is ":0"). Then run
sawmill (or whatever window manager you want).

        I'm running sawmill version 0.25.2, which is pretty stable
on RH 6.1.
