Some options set via .sawfishrc/sawfish-client won't work

[Flashrider]

Hi all,

I've just noticed, that some of the options only work, when set via
SawfishConfig, but not when set via SawfishRC/SawfishClient ...

here are the two I found out to behave like that:

edge-flip-enabled
display-ws-name-on-switch

the following one wasn't tested by me, but logically it must also fail:

raise-tabs-on-hover

... Well the thing I don't understand atm is: why are they only working
in SawfishConfig, but not elsewhere? Anyone?

Their defcustoms have after-set hooks.

And after-set is not evaluated in SawfishRC/SawfishClient? ... we need
to change that.

Why?  Hmm, I was going to say that there's usually a setter function,
like set-number-of-viewports in viewport.  But apparently not, at least
in the case of edge-flip.  But I think that having a setter function is
better than having sawfishrc honor after-set...

edge-flip has a setter function: edge-flip-enable, but actually it does
not disable edgeflip, if niled and it's not exported, so atm can't be
accessed via sawfishrc, moreover the setters for raise-tabs-on-hover and
display-workspace-name also aren't exported, well I'll do the necessary
changes tommorow.

No, unless you use custom-set-variable.

Well check out the current git, the following three setters are now
exported:

raise-tabs-on-hover-setter
edge-flip-enable
display-ws-name-setter

tell me, if you find more functions like that (not all :after-set are
affected (eg.: the frame-font-color-changers aren't))
