I'm also using sawfish gnome and noticed this problem too, although I never
encountered it with window resizing. When I put many writelns to many
important lcl routines, sometimes lazarus hangs up. Killing the ide always
solved the problem. The hang up can occur simply by moving over the menu,
hence I believe the problem is not located in the ide. Perhaps Jens problem
is due to the massive writeln attack of the move and size messages. Comment
the writeln in gtkcallback.inc.
BTW, who committed them? I don't think that they are useful for error
reports.
