I agreed to let the auto-convert stuff try and convert my configs.
(They were pretty vanilla anyway.)

Unfortunately, the new way workspaces work is not the same as the way
old workspaces worked.

I create a 4 or 6 pane desktop and hop between the panes.
The old sawfish commands were move viewport up/down/left/right.
There are new Workspace up/down/left/right commands that I 
WAS able to find, use, and set up.
Unfortunately, moving windows to the new workspaces is no longer a
matter of shoving the window up and out of the presently visible region.

Apparently the sawfish window manager control program lacks the ability
to enhance the menus, so I can't add "send window to workspace
up/down/left/right".
