Very Computer

Ok, I had the same problem as you when I tried to install sawfish from
RPM files.  The reason is you have to go to the gnome control panel and
to window managers.  Highlight sawfish and then select configure button
(or what ever it says).  When I installed it from RPM's, the configure
button didn't work.  It would crash the control panel everytime.  But
what I did was I installed helix gnome which has a nice installer that
does everything automatically.  You just download the installer and let
it go.

Before you buy.

Yes there is. First undo what you did
to get the left button to raise windows.
Next go to the sawfish configurator in the
'Focus Behavior' section and select
'Raise windows when they are focused'
and set the delay below it to zero.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I have it sorted now - in the Sawifish
Configurator (middle mouse button on desktop / customise / bindings) I
was trying to set the mouse bindings when the tab at the top displayed
'Window'. I needed to set it to 'Title' before it worked.

BTW I don't need the Helix Installer since I use a Debian-based distro -
I just use apt-get. Very nifty!

Tanks again.
