That's no big problem, sawfish does already check for the DE on startup, see
this code from defaults.jl:

(unless batch-mode

;; if it looks like GNOME is the desktop environment, then load the
;; extra GNOME integration module
  (if (getenv "GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID")
      (require 'sawfish.wm.integration.gnome)

;; if it looks like KDE is the desktop environment, then load the
;; extra KDE integration module
  (if (getenv "KDE_SESSION_VERSION")
      (require 'sawfish.wm.integration.kde))))

So you should add some defvar to sawfish.wm.integration.[gnome|kde] ... though I'm not
yet sure which file is read first defaults.jl or apps{-,}menu.jl. Ahh, checks are for
GNOME 2x and KDE 4x. KDE 3x might have different envvar, but we don't have an integration
module for it.
