Mmmh, IMHO metacity is good enough to replace sawfish.
I ever used it, since GNOME 2.0 Beta3 if I remember well.
Metacity has all the basic features that a WM need and it is integrated 
with GTK (I mean the theming) better than sawfish.

I can't talk much about vte because I have tryied it for the first time 
Friday at work (on a RH7.3 system with Ximian snaps) and I haven't 
played much yet.
As far is a played with vte I can say that its AA fonts don't seem to be 
 ugly as dobey said.
Anyway I agree with a possibile option (a GConf key) to disable the AA 
fonts for the vte widget.
