sawfish has lost a window.

[Janek Kozicki <janek_listy wp pl>]

And we have time to debug it.

When X starts, I have following line in my rox autorun script:

  xterm -geom 95x15+3520+685  -fg gray -bg black -T last      -e watch -n25 "last | grep -v -e \"janek *pts/[0-9]* *:0.0\"" &

It shows me last logins, except for me logging to X. The window is
titled "last", due to `-T last` argument.

Among hundreds of windows open, this one has been lost, and I cannot
find it. Maybe I have lost some other windows too, but I didn't
notice. It is not in sawfish windows list, it isn't anywhere on all
of my viewports. Also I remember that we were talking about this
problem before. So I think that this is a nice occasion to debug
this. Except that I don't know how to debug this :)

first of all I have version 1.6.3.1. If that problem was fixed in
later releases, then just tell me. BTW it's funny that currently
sawfish releases are faster than I am able to do upgrades ;-)))


OK, so I can see the process is running:

janek atak:~$ ps auxw | grep last
janek     4377  0.0  0.0  61128  2272 ?        S    Sep28   0:06 xterm -geom 95x15+3520+685 -fg gray -bg black -T last -e watch -n25 last | grep -v -e "janek *pts/[0-9]* *:0.0"
janek     4387  0.0  0.0  10452   940 pts/3    Ss+  Sep28   0:52
watch -n25 last | grep -v -e "janek *pts/[0-9]* *:0.0"

I can see it in `xwininfo -root -tree` which produces a 7070 lines
long list. And word "last" appears there only once, So I hope that
this is that window, and not some other window:

I don't know what means "+-22078+703", but it is not changing as I am
changing my current viewport. I have only one desktop and 6x4 viewports.

I don't know what else should I/can I do.

The goal is to eliminate this behaviour in sawfish ;-)

any ideas?
