System name:		w20-575-8.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 9.2.25
Display type:		nVidia Corporation NV5 [RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro] (rev 15)

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		sawfish

What were you trying to do?

     I would like to be able to set my Sawfish settings by clicking on
     the Windows icon in the Gnome Control Center.

What's wrong:

     When I click on the Windows icon, I get the following error
     message:

     Cannot start the preferences application for your window manager

     Window manager "Sawfish" has not registered a configuration tool

     This dialog has only a Close button and no title.

What should have happened:
     
     The Sawfish configurator, which appears when I middle-click the
     desktop and then select Customize->All Settings should appear.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
     
     The OLC stock answers do not contain any reference to this problem.
