From apt-cache showpkg:

1:1.3.5.2-1ubuntu1.1 (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid-proposed_universe_binary-amd64_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status)

So I think I'm using the right package

Several problems:
1 I created a test account (with a fresh homedir) and chose sawfish on the login screen, I got nothing on log in. None of my mouse buttons do anything (I think it was middle-click to get the sawfish menu to launch things).

2 rep is not installed and so sawfish-ui still gives me "exec: 8: rep: not found". So the dependencies seem busted.

That said, with rep installed #2 goes away and I can kill metacity, start sawfish and successfully start sawfish-ui.

I have not tried logging into my every-day account with sawfish as the WM yet, I have a lot of state on my desktop that I don't want to get rid of right now.
