Let me provide a portage overlay for x11-wm/sawfish and its dependencies.

Although the Sawfish window manager was removed from the Gentoo portage tree in Jan 2023, it's still maintained, even if minimally - just to keep it alive.

# BTW I once was a Sawfish developer until 2011.

For Wayland: I recommed Qtile, which is written in Python, thus quite configurable. Qtile can run in both X and Wayland. Xmonad / Waymonad are also hackable, but they're in haskell, kinda "not for everyone."

Until I migrate to Wayland, I'll stick to Sawfish ;-)
Good luck.

Updated x11-wm/sawfish.

Sawfish now supports (very minimally) _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL. This can improve some panel / dock type windows support.

See the commit message for details.

For what to do in Wayland, see the first message of the thread.
