>Description:
i installed sawfish-1.3.3 and sawfish-themes from ports. everything worked except there were no window decorations. sawfish-ui also would not let me modify or choose other themes. i tried installing many different things to resolve this but no matter what sawfish always said "error: no such image /usr/share/sawfish/themes/Crux/inactive:top-left-border.png". this image does exist at the stated location. i became totally frustrated with sawfish and installed gnome2. after installing gnome2 sawfish has window decorations. i think the dependency checking for the sawfish port needs to be looked into. installing gnome is not a good way to resolve dependencies. other than this i am very happy with freebsd. thank you for your efforts in bringing us this fine operating system. 
>How-To-Repeat:
just install sawfish from ports.
