Re: sawfish-menu binary needs to be in your PATH if you install sawfish in an odd location; LD_LIBRARY_PATH might be needed as well

All looks good, I have:

#define SAWFISH_EXECDIR "/path/to/my/install/lib/sawfish"

which is the right place, and I see sawfish-menu in that spot.

*but* it's actually  /path/to/my/install/bin/ that I had to put in PATH
for things to work right in sawfish.

As mentioned, I also added 
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/my/install/lib

which may have helped/been necessary.


I'm willing to play around with it more if there are specific things you
want me to try.

I didn't use PREFIX=foo during make install so that's moot.
