If you try to login on a 9.0 machine (linux at least) with the 'Ignore
Customizations' option, xsession tries to start sawfish with the
--no-user-rc option.  This causes sawfish to fail with the
message :

error--> (invalid-function ()) 

The same thing happens from the command line.  Starting sawfish with
no options works correctly.

I don't think I have any odd dotfiles hanging around my homedir, but it's
mostly world-readable if someone needs to look.
