Sawfish root geometry management ignores top menu bar

The top menu bar is ignored when considering window placement it seems, and also when placing icons on the root window. I started up from a default environment of garnome 0.10.1, and there was an icon in the top-left half-eclipsed by the top menu bar, and when I started xchat, the window appeared at the very top, so the title bar was hidden by the menu bar at the top.
that shouldn't be the case. You'll need to track this down further..
