(they are the same thing, right?) Same here. Latest sawfish, and yes, they're the same. The name was changed from sawmill to sawfisch because of some trademark/copyright problems. I'am ready to try another WM and see whether the SHM problems stay or not (other solutions didn't exactly work, I _dramatically_ increased all the SHM limits in the kernel but still get tons of shm errors from imlib or gdk). Yet, I still see excessive shm usage in the output of ipcs (similar to the output reported by the original poster). BTW: It's for sure _not_ a -current issue and might have nothing to do with FreeBSD at all, since I'am running 4.0-STABLE on this machine, with Xfree 4.0 and Gnome 1.2.
