Good point. I am running 1.2 from Redhat 7. Just to add more detail, other 
users of my machine can use Sawfish and configure it without any problem. 
Also, I have tried deleting all the gnome files associated with my account 
that I could find (~/.gnome ~/.sawfish /tmp/drussel-orbit or something like 
that), but that made no difference for either problem. I can't just make 
myself a new account since the names and ids have to match with other local 
machines. Also, I have no problem with sawfish configuration on other 
machines which share a home directory with this one and have very similar 
setups, however the Enlightenment confusion may have started immediately 
following my first such login to another machine (which did not have 
enlightenment installed). Thanks.
