Replace this with

(setq root-menu
	`(("Workspaces" . workspace-menu)
	  ("Windows" . window-menu)
          ("Programs" . apps-menu)
          ("Customize" . custom-menu)
          ("About..." (customize 'about))
          ()
          ("Restart" restart)
          ("Quit" quit)))

Also change the command for apps-menu. 

Btw I think ~/.sawfish/rc is the recent location for rc stuff.. but that
shouldn't matter. Verify that your rc file was actually executed by
launching sawfish-client and typing the variable name. The REPL should
respond with the variable content. Here this looks like:

$ sawfish-client
sawfish 1.3, Copyright (C) 1999-2000 John Harper
sawfish comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details see the file COPYING

Enter `,help' to list commands.
user> root-menu 
(("_Windows" . window-menu) ("Work_spaces" . workspace-menu)
("_Programs" . apps-menu) ("_Customize" . custom-menu)
("_Help" ("_FAQ..." help:show-faq) ("_News..." help:show-news) ("_WWW
page..." help:show-homepage) ("_Manual..." help:show-programmer-manual)
("_About Sawfish..." help:about)) () ("_Restart" restart) ("_Quit"
quit))

You can also submit the "(setq root-menu ..)" command directly to
sawfish-client, so you don't have to restart sawfish every time you
change a variable.
