I'm not sure if Sawfish will work Gnome3, Gnome3 is not exactly that classic-WM-friendly type of environment. Though, you could try. For Sawfish I'd either suggest a "pure" Sawfish session, Xfce or Mate. Sawfish works very good with Xfce and Mate, I had the former running for some time and the later now as my main environment. Getting it to run with Xfce is a little bit tricky, as you need to write a custom .xinitrc to launch Xfce with Sawfish. With Mate it's easier, as you just need to replace a value in the Mate-Conf (/desktop/mate/session/required-components I think).

If I'd like to have sawfish how would I go about it? Install gnome 2 alongside with gnome 3? Will that work? Or should I install MATE which is a gnome 2 fork? If anyone managed to get sawfish on fedora 16 or fedora 17 I'd be happy to hear your story! Cheers, Daniel Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown -- Sawfish ML
