Ok, I installed the latest sawfish in debian woody. (apt-get install sawfish). But I seem to be having a problem. When I middle mouse click on the desktop, I don't get that configuration menu that one usually gets. It hasn't worked for me since I reinstalled linux. Is there anything that I can do to diagnose the problem?

not sure here, may be the sawfish keyboard binding settings went wrong, - you can avail the sawfish settings from gnome control-center > window managers > sawfish settings,

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the Sawfish configuration options are also not working in Gnome Control Center as well. But your suggestion did give me an idea. I ran control center from an eterm (gnomecc), so that all the debug messages would get dumped in the eterm. When I ran control center and chose any of the sawfish configuration options, I got this error:
error--> (file-error "No such file or directory" "gui/gtk")
There seems to be something out of place. Any ideas where I can fix this error?

Not being a Sawfish users, I would take a guess and say that gui/gtk is missing. Recheck to see that apt-get installed all the Sawfish components.

Yay! I finally figured out the problem. I did a search for gui in my /usr directory and it came up with /usr/lib/rep/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gui. And there was a gtk subdirectory in this directory. But I noticed a similar /usr/lib/rep/i386-pc-linux-gnu directory but it had no gui subdirectory. So, I guessed and linked the i686's gui directory from i386 and it worked like a charm. Seems it was looking for gui/gtk relative to the i386 directory. Now I can theme my sawfish.
Now, to figure out why 2.4.3 kills all internet access for me. =)
