I'm running Sawfish 1.3 with Sun's GNOME 2.0 packages on a Solaris
machine - trying to deal with that piece of garbage Metacity was enough
to make me switch back to CDE. If you add the line
  (require 'sawfish.wm.ext.edge-flip)
to your ~/.sawfishrc edge-flipping will be available, and should show up
in the configuration tool under Workspaces. I found that using the GNOME
pager with a single horizontal row of workspaces screwed things up and I
had to add
  (setq overriden-num-workspace-rows 1)
to be able to flip past the left and right edges instead of only top and
bottom.
