In the 1.6.0 sawfish release notes is the comment below; since we're still on 1.5.3 this looks like an upstream bug with an upstream fix - and our sawfish packages are ancient.
Dave >From http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/News - Random window disapperance prevention There're reports of sudden, random window disapperance, under Xinerama and some other drivers. It is partly prevented, but not completely, as this may also be caused by other libraries or buggy video drivers. Now in error_handler() in src/display.c, when a window sends request_code 12 (X_ConfigureWindow), don't auto-assume it to be unmapped.
