Upgrading to 1:1.11.90-1 didn't fix the bug for me, but I am now seeing errors more exactly like what others have reported. Running startx resulted in a black screen (not my normal background) with white error popups indicating files not found. (The same messages also showed up in my .xsession-errors.) Dismissing the error messages allowed me to get the usual middle-click desktop menu, but when I tried to quit sawfish, I just got a completely black screen and couldn't do anything at all, even switch to another console. The errors in my .xsession-errors were:
------ Sawfish error: File error: No such file or directory, gnome Sawfish error: Unbound variable: expert Sawfish error: File error: No such file or directory, sawfish/wm/ext/edge-flip Sawfish error: File error: No such file or directory, sawfish/wm/ext/edge-flip ------ I also saw an error during installation of 1:1.11.90-1: ------ Preparing to unpack .../sawfish_1%3a1.11.90-1_amd64.deb ...
