Well, I presume that these menu options used to exist, but I can't find them,
so I presume that they've been removed.  There's a long-term vendetta against
viewports being prosecuted by the Sawfish team, though no-one's ever explained
why.

I suggest that you add the commands that you want yourself.  Try

(setq root-menu
      (cons `("_Viewports" . (("Move Viewport _Left"  (move-viewport -1  0))
                              ("Move Viewport _Right" (move-viewport  1  0))
                              ("Move Viewport _Up"    (move-viewport  0 -1))
                              ("Move Viewport _Down"  (move-viewport  0  1)))
              )
            root-menu))

Cheers,

Ewan.
