You have to load the GNOME support in sawfish manually. I put
the following lines in my ~/.sawmillrc:

(require 'sawmill-defaults)
(require 'gnome-int)
(require 'gnome-commands)
(require 'gnome-match)

After a restart of sawfish, the DeskGuide was working properly. I tried
this some months ago (I'm now running enlightenment, after I expanded my
memory... ). I don't know if the .sawmillrc filename changed to .sawfishrc
after the sawmill name change.
