I think i just copied some stuff from RH6 into /usr/share/locale, but 
I don't remember what.

Try disabling sound in in control center (Multimedia -> sound)

E (and twm) has a different paramter for the sm client id than sawmill.
Maybe try running sawmill from the command line like:

sawmill --sm-client-id default2

(and make sure you save your session)
There are some other ways you could do this, but this might be the
easiest.
