I'm not sure if it's a trayer or sawfish issue but will first ask you guys if anyone can reproduce the problem at all.
I'm running sawfish 1.3.1 without gnome and needed a standalone tray utility so started to use trayer http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=names&keywords=trayer I downloaded the source from debian, also a necessary patch, compiled and ran it. Everything seems fine, the tray works and docks the icons (nm-applet, battery usage, skype, etc) but as soon as I press the middle mouse button on the background in order to bring up the sawfish main menu, sawfish crashes. This means that windows don't get focus, edge flipping stops working, etc. The only thing I can do is Ctrl+Alt+F1 to terminal mode, killall -9 trayer, Ctrl+Alt+F7 back to GUI mode and then observe that sawfish is still dead, the headers of the windows are black, etc. Then go back to terminal mode, killall -9 sawfish, and restart X. So my questions are: 1. Does anybody use trayer + sawfish? 2. If yes, does it work properly? 3. If not, what tray application do you use (I tried stalonetray but it's very buggy, exiting an application like rhythmbox and restarting it again for example causes the rhythmbox icon to not appear on the tray. I have to kill stalonetray, restart it, in order to get rhythmbox show up again.)? 4. If you've never used trayer, can you please try compiling it and seeing whether you have the same problem as me?
