Knowing some form of Lisp (such as Common Lisp or Scheme) will make sawfish configuration make a lot more sense.
i know some Common Lisp, learnt it from www.gigamonkeys.com/book
I used sawfish and emacs for years without knowing Lisp, just configuring through tools or by copy-and-pasting code from FAQs,
Emacs is the only text-editor i use. i use even its "eshell" to compile my C++ programmes. i wrote some lines for customisation in my ".emacs" file.
and once I learned some Lisp things made a lot more sense (of course Sawfish has a lot of WM-specific things going on, but that's not the hard part (at least I didn't think so)). I've attached my .sawfishrc, but it may not help much, since it's just simple settings and soforth; Sawfish's defaults tend to work well enough that I haven't bothered changing anything major, though I really should try my hand at 'fixing' window placement sometime.
i dont have any ".sawfishrc" file in my home directory.
Based on the screenshots, all you really need is the right theme, a background setter (xsetroot or xsri), and ...
i use Google to find answer to my questions. i failed to find any answer to "sawfish user guide" or "sawfish configuration how to". anyway i want to know: 1.) how to use a theme? 2.) i Googled for "xsetroot" & got its man page :-)
hmm, not sure how you'd do the pager. I know sawfish supports it, or did, as I had one with GNOME 1.something with sawfish about 6 years ago, but I have no idea what's required for that to work.
WOW, sawfish is 6 years old!
