Re: Help resetting sawfish wm

30.3? I thought the latest Sawfish was 30.2 ?  And yes, I thought it was a permission
problem but I've no idea where to start if everything already read/write(able) . The
only thing I can think is that maybe something is trying to write to a temp directory
and requires that permission. I'll have ot check that in the morning.
