I would recommend/request that the double-buffering added to sawfish be configurable via .sawfishrc so that it can be disabled.
Reasoning:
I installed a fresh system on my workstation (Debian 9), which installed:
ii sawfish 1:1.11.90-1+b1 amd64 window manager for X11
Since I have four monitors, I have to enable xinerama, or else X is just painful. While this combination of sawfish with nvidia/xinerama worked fine before, with the new version of sawfish, the title bars disappeared and sawfish reports a lot of:
Xlib: extension "DOUBLE-BUFFER" missing on display ":0".
Reseraching this, I found that Xdbe is disabled when xinerama is enabled because they are incompatible. Since this version of sawfish now uses double buffering:
- Add double buffering of frame parts to reduce flickering while
redraw of frames. [hans1024]
This means that sawfish won't work with xinerama.
I pulled the debian sources for sawfish, disabled Xdbe in ./configure and built. It now works fine.
