Description Andrew Sobala 2002-07-03 14:59:32 UTC 
In GNOME2, the Sawfish settings are in a sawfish submenu under "Advanced."
The shell (not the nautilus view, this handles it fine) does not provide a
way to enter into this sublevel of capplets and change the sawfish settings.
Comment 1 Luis Villa 2002-07-10 19:05:02 UTC 
Andrew: and you're running sawfish? This doesn't work for me either,
but I'm pretty sure that's because the capplets test to see if sawfish
is running- other things in submenus (like
preferences:///Advanced/Login Photo) work fine for me.
Comment 2 Andrew Sobala 2002-07-10 19:28:41 UTC 
Luis: Yes, I'm still running sawfish.

Note that you need 2 levels of submenus to reproduce this bug.

So capplets in preferences:///Advanced/Some_Capplet_Here are visible,
but preferences:///Advanced/Sawfish/Some_Capplet_Here are not.
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-07-10 19:32:36 UTC 
OK. Clarifying title, then.
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2002-11-07 14:36:37 UTC 
SPAM as discussed last night. Search for 'SPAM as discussed last night' to catch
these all and delete them. :)
Comment 5 Mark Finlay 2003-02-23 14:08:56 UTC 
Maybe sawfish prefs should not be under advanced, but instead 
directly under desktop preferences. In that case this would
be a sawfish bug.
Comment 6 Andrew Sobala 2003-02-23 16:06:39 UTC 
The shell should still work for 3rd party capplets. We appear to
support nested capplet menus, so even if we don't distribute anyway,
it should work.
Comment 7 Christian Neumair 2004-07-20 18:12:21 UTC 
I can't verify this with GNOME 2.6 and submenus I created manually.
Is it still an issue?

regs,
 Chris

yes
Comment 9 Sebastien Bacher 2005-01-17 23:29:01 UTC 
this issue seems to be fixed with 2.9, I'm closing the bug. Feel free to reopen
if the issue is still here.
