Me too. In particular with GTK3 applications that use "client side 
decoration" (ugh!): clicking almost anywhere can initiate an unwanted 
drag-to-resize, seemingly at random. In this (CSD) case it does seem 
to be a sawfish issue: I don't see it if I run xfwm4 instead (but I 
much prefer sawfish otherwise).
