The problem persists even without any GNOME application being started. As was pointed by others, the menu entry "Customize -> Miscellaneous" opens a configuration window with the option "Invoke the GNOME control center from the 'Customize' menu", which is selected by default in my system. Deselecting it removes GNOME integration, giving back the Restart and Quit entries in the root menu, but loosing the GNOME menu entries in the Programs submenu. Related to this setting, there is a line in the ~/.sawfish/custom file: (custom-set-typed-variable (quote gnome-use-capplet) (quote t) (quote boolean) (quote sawfish.wm.gnome.integration)) > The fix that I have is the following in .sawfish/rc (or .sawfishrc). > > ; unconditionally require integration; we always want it > (require 'sawfish.wm.gnome.integration) > ; add back Quit > (require 'sawfish.wm.menus) > (require 'sawfish.wm.misc) > (nconc root-menu `(() (,(_ "Restart") restart) (,(_ "Quit") quit))) That is what I did, and I have also disabled the "gnome-use-capplet" feature as described above. Now it is working as I expected. > I personally think it's almost a bug that gnome integration is optional; > it does a lot more than the name casually suggests. Thanks.
