To kind of synthesize my idea and yours: http://www.sics.se/~lofgren/sawmill/repository.html A repository of LISP scripts that manipulate windows in sawfish. If one actually gets the scripting feature to work, then pretty much all of the PC Magazine's problems could be easily fixed in gnome/sawfish... *IF* it were easier for users to simply plug in scripts into sawfish. Right now it is a matter of putting LISP scripts into a directory and hoping that it runs, etc.... not for the average user who can barely right-click.
