[Judy Lujan]

I tried /etc/X11/gdm and it told me that gdm is a directory. Blush. I knew
that. So I typed cd gdm and it said cd: gdm: No such file or directory. Then I
tried ps -ef | grep sawfish and got absolutely nothing. So I tried ps -ef |
grep gnome and got:
root 228 212 0 16:41 tty1 00:00:00 grep gnome

BTW - I think I asked before... you said you are running SawFish. Are you 
running Gnome as well? I personally have never gotten SawFish to run without 
gnome-session

try:
ps -ef | grep sawfish

and then ps -ef  | grep gnome

you should see entries for both.
