Here i have add Sawfish/Mate, Sawfish/Kde and Sawfish/Xfce to my
DMs and tested it in Debian and Gentoo with a new and a old user, and it
works.

1. Add sawfish-kde.desktop, sawfish-mate.desktop and
sawfish-xfce.desktop from this mail in /usr/share/xsessions/

2. chmod 644 sawfish-kde.desktop sawfish-mate.desktop and
sawfish-xfce.desktop

3. Add sawfish-kde-session, sawfish-mate-session and
sawfish-xfce-session from this mail in /usr/bin/

4. chmod 755 sawfish-kde-session sawfish-mate-session and
sawfish-xfce-session

5. Restart your DM and test it.

Comments/Patches are welcome.
