Hi.  Because sawfish is the default window manager, ~/.sawfishrc gets
executed even if "Ignore my customizations" is chosen at login.  When I
was customizing sawfish, I must have wedged it 20 times by putting bad
code in my .sawfishrc.  If this had happened before I learnt about
getting tickets as myself from a root login, and I'd been on a machine I
couldn't remotely access, this would have been pretty discombobulating.

HTH.
Alex.
