Hmmmm. Who else has seen the problem? The strange thing is that a couple of my
linux friends are running GNOME+sawfish and do not see the problem. They too
are running on X 3.3.6 for whatever it matters. 

I've not inspected the various "patches" that we've done to GNOME to de-linux
it, but perhaps we've zigged when we should have zagged and introduced a
problem (the patches I have waded through seemed like they were either adding
more linking flags or changing the path to some file like /var/mail/%s vs.
/usr/spool/mail/%s, etc. ... hardly things that would introduce some
catastrophic bug ...).
