Bugzilla-Product: sawfish
Description:

  Please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75142
  for the original bug report.
   (This is a batch-forwarded bug, if it doesn't make sense let me know.
   The bug was forwarded because it's a feature request and we don't
   want to maintain the custom feature or UI change in Red Hat patches,
   or because we don't expect to fix it ourselves but thought it might be
   a legitimate issue. It was not obviously a packaging or Red Hat specific bug.
   If you would rather not be forwarded such bugs, please advise. Thanks)

I just installed RH8.0, and I can reproduce this bug. The problem is
NOT X locking up, but Sawfish goes into a 100% CPU load loop and stops
responding to X. So you cannot change focus, and the input loop locks
up (preventing the keyboard from working).

The version reported by Sawfish is 2.0-pre1, which I cannot find on
the Sawfish site. It looks like some bastard version created by RH.

I will try to see if I can reproduce this, and then SSH in and attach
with gdb.
