The lack of up-to-date DEB's doesn't help, and unfortunately it's not working on the latest Ubuntu 12.04.
12.04 is broken with every sawfish version I've tried, and I've tried a lot of them: 1.5.2 (native) 1.8.0 1.8.9 bleeding edge source (via git), after building libtool (debs are compliments of http://www.nanolx.org/apt/pool/main/s/sawfish/) With both my physical machine and a VM, I get the same problem: After about 2 minutes of use, all the windows freeze and am unable to move them or focus. Across all versions on all platforms even with Gnome Classic installed. Because I need to get work done, I'm just installing LinuxMint. But getting it on the latest Ubuntu, as well as some more up-to-date DEBS would be a big win. I'm willing to help with the effort too. - h -- Sawfish ML
