> Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 alpha?
Yes, big problem for me on two systems now at 8.10. (Had the problems before the upgrade too.)
I see:
1) Apparently random loss of one or more windows or GNOME panels, with ps x showing the application still running.
2) When I use 'kill' to kill a process, one or more unrelated windows usually die.
3) Often when I unlock a locked terminal I get nothing at all other than my wallpaper, though I can log in again via a virtual console and ps x shows everything still running.
4) Occasionally Sawfish stops rending the window "decorations" correctly, so that I lose all the controls on the bar across the top. (This seems to happen most often with pop-up windows.)
5) Using the Workspace Switcher and the Sawfish desktop menu makes Sawfish go completely nutty. E.g., I'll switch to another workspace and then can't get back, or Sawfish will quit working altogether.
