This might help you.  Type:

	rpm -ql (packagename)

and it will list the location of all installed packages.
Unfortunately, that will not tell you where the source
will install them.  Chances are the sawfish makefiles 
use either the local install command to install all the files,
or it will use its own install.sh.  What you can do then is 
grep for install, and that should tell you where its putting things.
Also, be aware they may do something like:

	INSTALL=/usr/bin/install

which means you will have to grep for INSTALL instead.  Also,
they will probably have something like:

	$(INSTALL) $(INSTALL_SWITCHES) $(PREFIX)/somefile

which means you will have to lookup where the variables representing the
various install directories are set.

Hope this helps...james
