Yeah, that's the sort of thing.  I looked through sawfish-config and 
couldn't see anything relevant to viewports.  Is it perchance an 
extension to the basic sawfish?

Looking at Chris' example sawfishrc I see "require 
'sawfish.wm.ext.edge-flip" which sounds like what I need if it applies 
to viewports, but I can't see anything in sawfish-config that it relates to.

I don't have any .sawfishrc at the moment, so I'll try adding in 
snippets from the example rc and see what I get - a new item in 
sawfish-config I hope.
