What I think you've done is change the sim-link x-window-mnager so that
it now points to sawmill, if you change the exec gnome-session line to
exec x-window-manager it should load sawmill
Don't worry that you couldn't install sawfish, there the same program, it has
just been renamed due to a nameing conflict (with what I don't know)
