Ah, that's very nice!

If it is going to hit experimental, I can wait.
One thing that bothers me is the issue described in
http://listengine.tuxfamily.org/lists.tuxfamily.org/sawfish/2015/06/msg00001.html
Because of that issue I've been running a locally patched sawfish. As
far as I know, working around that issue without patching sawfish is not
trivial.
Best wishes.
