I clicked Sawfish (Current), and then Try. It asked if I wanted to
save the session, and I said yes. Everything seems fine. Is there
anyway to change this before starting up Gnome? Thanks for the prompt
and correct reply.
It seems that this is a bit of a backwards way of configuring a
Desktop interface. If I can find a way to change this setting before
firing up Gnome I'll post it to the list. There may be another NetBSD
user out there as lost as I just was.
