Following up on a previous thread:

On linux the backspace key now works, but ^U behaves oddly, erasing the
input but not clearing it from the display.  For example if I type a few
characters, ^U and then type a few more:

  Type your message now.  End with control-D or a dot on a line by itself.
  qwert^Ufoo
  .

the recipient gets just "foo".  Not sure if this is a change or I just
didn't notice it before.

On solaris, sawfish-capplet seems to be behaving now from gnomecc except
for the first choice (Sawfish window manager->Appearance) which still
hangs.  Trying from the desktop, Customize->Appearance either does
nothing or pops up a sawfish configurator window which immediately
closes.
