Same here. Latest sawfish, and yes, they're the same. The name was 
changed from sawmill to sawfisch because of some trademark/copyright problems.

I'am ready to try another WM and see whether the SHM problems stay or not 
(other solutions didn't exactly work, I _dramatically_ increased all the 
SHM limits in the kernel but still get tons of shm errors from imlib or 
gdk). Yet, I still see excessive shm usage in the output of ipcs (similar 
to the output reported by the original poster).

BTW: It's for sure _not_ a -current issue and might have nothing to do 
with FreeBSD at all, since I'am running 4.0-STABLE on this machine, with 
Xfree 4.0 and Gnome 1.2.
