In Unix computing, Sawfish is a window manager for the X Window System. Formerly known as Sawmill, the name was changed because another software program had the same name.
Distinctively, Sawfish uses a LISP-like scripting language, rep, for all of its code, making it particularly easy to extend. For example, it can incorporate keybindings for XMMS.
Sawfish does not come with a panel and was used with the GNOME desktop environment until it was replaced by Metacity in GNOME 2.2.
The latest released version, 1.3, was released on March 24, 2003.
