Sticky windows again - a bug?

Hi,

I've found something which looks like a bug in sawfish. When a non-sticky 
window is hidden, and then shown again, it will magically become sticky. 
I'm using Sawfish 1.0.1.

Here's a simple program showing the problem. Start the program, and just 
click the button. Suddenly the window will be sticky...

    Dominic

----------------------------------------
#include <gtk/gtk.h>

void hide_show (GtkWidget *button, gpointer window)
{
    gtk_widget_hide (window);
    gtk_widget_show (window);
}

void destroy (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
    gtk_main_quit ();
}

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    GtkWidget *window,
              *button;

I, too, have recently noticed that "stickiness" has kind of spread.  I
first saw it weeks ago with /Netscape/; the opening of the "Bookmarks"
window created it with a "sticky" property.

Now, when I fire off a new /xterm/, it also has a default "sticky"
property. Yet, it doesn't happen on all newly created windows (e.g.,
/tkcon/). Strange! (and very undesirable).

This is occurring on an up-to-date RH7.2 system with sawfish-1.0.1-1.

Hopefully someone has an idea about what's going on ...

Thanks,

I'm not totally sure, but I think this may have been fixed in the cvs
version a while ago,

Yep, indeed, the problem seems to be solved in the cvs version.
