sawfish-2.0 didn't want to compile on my configuration. i found a typo in gtk_style.c line 100: 98: /* If GTK_MINOR_VERSION is not set 2 we are using gtk+ 1.3.x or 2.0 99: so these two members are no more */ 100: #if (GTK_MINOR_VERSION == 0) i believe the author meant: 100: #if (GTK_MINOR_VERSION != 0) i changed it and it compiled just fine
