I use my own root menu, so changing the default sawfish root menu will
not effect me at all. In case you are wondering, this is what I have:


------------------------------------------
xterm
2 xterms
3 xterms
---------------
firefox
skype
---------------
vlc
rhythmbox
---------------
inkscape
gimp
gthumb
---------------
windows ( opens window-menu )
---------------
restart sawfish
kill X
poweroff
----------------------------------------------

Cheers,
Daniel
