Well this is true.  Sawfish and Gnome have a ways to go to get things
right.  One thing I 
noticed with Sawfish is if you set matched windows to open on a certain
desktop 
then it should **always** open it on that desktop but one sometimes must
tell the 
window to forget it's saved settings because it opened on a different
desktop.

Sawfish must understand the gnome/gtk libraries/widgets better.
