No, sawfish most definately supports spawning programs via hotkeys... I
recall setting e.g. Ctrl-Alt-E to launch emacs.
As to the issue of hotkey portability between windowmanagers, they seem
different, but similar enough that some glue could be written to handle the
cases where there is a conflict... e.g. sawfish uses emacs-style ''C-A-x'' vs
windowmaker's more verbose ''Control+Mod1+x''
