I was (and partly still I am) in a very comparable situation.

Those curious might want to have look at the photo I 
uploaded to the sawfish wiki today here:
  http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/File:GroessenVergleich_mit_ipad_und_iphone.jpg
The MultiHD monitor desk shown there is currently displayed in
our company booth at the fair DRUPA 2012 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Only a few days before start of the fair I decided to compile 
sawfish (1.8.92), rep-gtk (0.90.8) and librep (0.92.2) and put
it onto a fresh Linux Mint 12 install.  Since I was in a hurry
and had not much experience with Debian package building I decided 
to do a simple installation into /usr/local .

Regards, Peter.
