You were missing your panel too?  Sawfish is the window manager, it has 
nothing to
with the panel, if you bring up a terminal and type

sawfish & disown & exit

it doesn't give you your window decorations back?
have you tried other window managers?

twm & disown & exit

kwm & disown & exit

etc?

Maybe you don't have sawfish installed anymore.
