thanks GSR, Christopher for your time & effort. 

> this in sawfish-client:

no menus came up for any of these: 

(popup-window-menu (get-window-by-name-re "BLKprf"))
#<process running: /home/sam/lib/sawfish/sawfish-menu>

(popup-window-menu (get-window-by-name-re "play"))
#<process running: /home/sam/lib/sawfish/sawfish-menu>


(popup-window-menu (get-window-by-name-re "*scratch*"))
 NO RESPONSE, just the next command line

(popup-window-menu (get-window-by-name-re "\*scratch\*"))
 NO RESPONSE, just the next command line

(popup-window-menu (get-window-by-name-re "New Tab - Mozilla Firefox"))
#<process running: /home/sam/lib/sawfish/sawfish-menu>



Now all this time I've been getting no error messages.  yesterday my machine crapped out for a while and in the end I had to run as root to fix things, I thought I would try running sawfish in root (ran "startx" as root) - for some reason it gave me a lot more error messages than running as a non-root user.
