Maybe (just maybe), try changing your 

/usr/share/gnome/wm-properties/Sawfish.desktop

and put this instead:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Sawfish
Name[cs]=Sawfish
Name[el]=���������� (Sawfish)
Name[no]=Sawfish
Name[da]=Sawfish
Name[sk]=Sawfish
Name[sl]=Sawfish
Name[sv]=Sawfish
Type=Application
Exec=sawfish
TryExec=sawfish
Terminal=false

[Window Manager]
ConfigExec=sawfish-ui
ConfigTryExec=sawfish-ui
SessionManaged=true
