Severity: serious
Hi,
after upgrading gnomesession and sawfish from woody to sarge, login
takes ages and sawfish is not started afterwards (so that I'm left with
no window manager at all). I think that is a very bad state.
After some debugging, replacing the files /etc/gnome/default.* with the
ones in /usr/share/gnome/default.*, going in via xterm and starting the
control panel by hand, I managed to replace sawfish finally by metacity,
and that worked at last.
Cheers,
Andi

You should use the conversion scripts for that. When you upgrade from
woody you need to logout/login and then a dialog box ask if you want to
convert your GNOME 1.4 configuration to GNOME 2.x
