However, I didn't find how to override the root-menu or to replace the
root menu with my own root menu.

The problem with zenity is that I don't know how to hand over the
zenity return code to sawfish.


E.g. when calling (system "zenity --warning&") I want
to quit Sawfish if I clicked Ok and I want to cancel quit if I clicked
Cancel. How can I get returncodes 0 or 1 into Sawfish?
