The problem is not configuration files. I don't know where exactly the
problem is. I think Sawfish (0.30.3) is simply in a unstable stage. I hope
this problem will disappear in the next release.

I want that because of bug #67757.
Quoting this bug report:
"When sawfish is updated to a new version, a running sawfish process"
"often starts acting wierdly -- for instance, often the [root"
"third-button] menus won't pop up, and sometimes even such basic"
"operations as window moving stop working."
