I've done a couple of test on two different pc (both running Debian 
Sid), and can confirm that the
bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138089 is related to the 
~/.sawfish/sessions files, at least on my case. =)

On my desktop there are two gnome panels, one in the upper left corner 
(orientation left, size of 24 pixels, not expanded) and one in the 
bottom right (orientation bottom, size of 24 pixels, not expanded). If i 
choose to save the session on logout (i've configured gnome-session to 
ask) on the next login a new file appear on ~/.sawfish/sessions (the 
file contains information about windows present on desktop) and the 
panel in the top corner is moved in the bottom right. This don't happen 
if i remove the session file on the sawfish dir.

Maybe something is b0rked on my sawfish configuration, if you need 
further info feel free to ask.
