I install an updated SVN version in a local dir on my home, and I
execute it in a Xephyr instance with a different user (the ~/.xsession
point the binary in my home).

If it's a C patch I reinstall it completely (make install), if it's a
Lisp patch, I simply modify the .jl files and restart Sawfish (if both
.jl and .jlc files are available, it will load the more recent of the
two).
