Re: Bug view info file

Hi,

a) x-terminal-emulator is the default for xterm-program, which you can 
change in SawfishConfig > Misc > External Applications.

There are two places you can access the info file:


aa) SawfishConfig: with SawfishConfig it is not possible to access 
xterm-program setting from Sawfish. Thus x-terminal-emulator is 
hardcoded in SawfishConfig. I might change it to xterm for better 
non-Debian-compat.

(Why the funk don't those non-Debian-Distros use alternatives aswell? 
this is pretty useful and allows generic system calls regardless of the 
installed software. Well... that would be to easy and so not fragmented)

bb) Sawfish Root Menu > Help. This will use whatever xterm-program is.

b) if no browser opens that means that the default browser-program 
(x-www-browser) is not available, adjust aswell in SawfishConfig > Misc 
 > External Applications.

See Screenshot for xterm-program and browser-program adjustment.

c) Wallpaper Setter. This is something completely different. This is not 
an issue of external applications, it's an issue with the widget. It's 
not really robust an error-tolerant. Please tell me your values for the 
following defcustoms (so I can test and fix the issue):

init-wallpaper (bool)
root-wallpaper (string)
wallpaper-setter (string)
wallpaper-setter-args (string)
set-wallpaper-gnome2 (bool)
set-wallpaper-xfce4 (bool)
wallpaper-display-type (symbol)

d) use the GitHub bug tracker over at github.com/SawfishWM/sawfish/issues

Regards,
Chris

Can you test if the accessing the sawfish wiki coming from "help" -> "sawfish-info" -> "sawfish wiki" works for you? I think it should open a browser with "http://wikia.sawfish.com", but for me it does not.
