Thank you Timo! That makes things a bit more workable :)

I still maintain that it would be nicer if the errors actually came back 
to sawfish-client. Currently I pulled together a quick hack in vim that 
does the emacs thing for C-x C-e by just passings things to 
sawfish-client -e. If anyone is interested, I can share.

Thanks again,
