For the past couple releases of RedHat, I have attempted to use the new 
default window manager, sawfish.  However, I end up reverting back to 
enlightenment because of a problem I haven't been able to track down.  

When my laptop is *not* plugged into the network, sawfish will often miss mouse
movements from one window into another and doesn't focus the new window.  Many
times, after rapid movement between 2 windows, both of the windows title bars
will become highlighted indicating they each have the focus, but obviously only
one can.  For whatever reason, when I am connected to the network, this is not 
happening as often.

Additionally, if I revert back to enlightenment, I can operate on or off the 
network.  I vaguely recall that even enlightenment has done this on rare 
occasions which might suggest that the root problem is in XFree86, but sawfish 
sure brings it out.

Has anyone seen anything like this or have some suggestions.  Some machine 
specifics:

   RedHat 7.2
   Machine: IBM ThinkPad A22p
   Graphics: ATI Rage 128 Mobility LF (AGP), "r128" module
   XFree86-4.1.0-3

Thanks,

Mike
