I used sawfish 1.5.3 on ubuntu 12.04 ( lubuntu in detail ) for quite a few days. It worked well. I think it can run on your machine, too.
Maybe you can try to build a very simple config file ~/.sawfishrc You can also try to reboot your system, launch the gnome-classic desktop, then pkill the default window manager, and launch sawfish. Hope that helps m.w.
