After messing around with sawfish.wm.ext.wallpaper I suddenly got an idea what causes this. I'm almost sure it is GTK+. SawfishConfig in recent versions uses a new GTK+ widget for selecting files GtkFileChooserButton rather than it's ancient and deprecated predecessor.
GtkFileChooserButton seems to use GIO to poll? Regards, Chris
