[ltp] Still Panel Problems

Hi,

I still have problems with Redhat 7.1, Gnome and Sawfish.
Everytime I log (graphical mode), I just have the desktop and default icons.
If I manually start panel, I get an error "Desk Guide Alert" stating I am
not running a compliant panel. Each icon on the desktop appears as a task in
the panel and the cursor is a black X, when I start and application, it has
no "enveloppe", that is I can't move or resize it because there is noblue
line at the top with the buttons. I switched to "twm" and got things quite
back.
But I hate "twm" and want Sawfish back, and I can't activate it (trying to
switch shiws the countdown to activate, then fails).

Any idea?

Regards,

Jean-Philippe
