Another good taskbar is PyPanel. Right now it works a bit funky with 
sawfish (it redraws when you highlight text, and won't minimize stuff 
unless you tell it your wm is openbox) but I emailed the author and I 
think in the next version he's going to put a fix specific to sawfish. 
Strangely this doesn't happen in any other wm's though.
