No you need to fix that stupid sawfish. It should not crash on upgrade.

You can check what connections the running sawfish has open with lsof
(if that works). Look for /tmp/.X11-unix/???. ??? should then give you
the X server it's connected to.
The next thing to do would be to make sawfish-client -f restart query
the old running swafish for the display.
May the Source be with you.
