Try this in your ~/.sawfish/rc:

(define (video-map-hook w)
  (when (string-match "^Remote Video$" (window-name w))
    (set-window-depth w -5)
    )
  t
  )
(add-hook 'add-window-hook video-map-hook)


Alternatively, the Matched Windows pane in the Sawfish configurator
(sawfish-ui) will allow you to configure such a thing without writing code
yourself.
