Sawfish sounds pretty interesting, but I'm surprised to find that it's
not in the fedora or livna repositories, considering others like
fluxbox are.  Am I just missing it?  Was there a huge falling out?  I
started to do the old manual "build from source" bit like in the old
days, but I started running into build issues with its
dependencies....  Yum has made me fat and lazy!

In any case, I have several other options to try, like fvwm2, Openbox,
and Kwin, so it's probably not a big deal.
