Configuring Menus in Sawfish

[Shad]

Anyone know how to do it? Specifically what file to edit or create? I'm pretty sure how to do the actual editing, but for the life of me I can't figure out what file it is suppose to be.

Hmm, what menus? AFAIK, sawfish doesn't really have any. The menus are provided by Gnome, if it's running. They are in .gnome* and friends, where they can be edited manually, but the programs -> settings -> menu editor is much easier. If you click the toolbox, you will get the Gnome control center, and it will let you set up sawfish options, down toward the bottom.

Middle mouse button gives you menus. I know about editing with in gnome, but I am running without gnome.

From the built-in FAQ:

4. How do I add customizations?

There are several files controlling this:

`~/.sawfishrc'
Hand written lisp code, loaded at startup. This is where
almost all explicit customization should be done.

`sawmill-defaults'
This lisp library is only loaded if there's no `.sawfishrc'
file.

`~/.sawfish/custom'
This stores customizations created by the configuration tool; This file is loaded _after_ `sawmill-defaults', but _before_
`.sawfishrc'.

5. I created `.sawfishrc', now things have changed?

If a `~/.sawfishrc' file exists, it prevents `sawmill-defaults'
from being loaded. But it's `sawmill-defaults' that loads some of
the common window manager features, so add the line

(require 'sawmill-defaults) to your `.sawfishrc' file if you want to start with all the
standard features loaded.

-- So it looks like you need to create a ~/.sawfishrc file. It also looks like all of the customization is handled by coding in lisp...
