Description:
sawfish /etc/X11/sessions/sawfish.desktop
sawfish /usr/share/applications/sawfish.desktop
sawfish /usr/share/gnome/wm-properties/sawfish-wm.desktop
sawfish /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksmserver/windowmanagers/sawfish.desktop
sawfish /usr/share/xsessions/sawfish.desktop

GDM/KDM both read sessions files from /usr/share/xsessions. I guess sawfish should install that file only.

Additional info:
* sawfish 1.8.1-1

Looking at the PKGBUILD we only adds /etc/X11/sessions/sawfish.desktop, I guess we should remove that line.

I agree, there are too many desktop files, but regarding to the freedesktop standards /usr/share/applications would be the correct place. Running desktop-file-install from the desktop-file-utils package as a normal user on a given desktop file will tell you, that it wants to install it to /usr/share/applications (and fail because of missing privileges).

I guess that location is for applications, and /usr/share/xsessions is for WMs/DEs as they are Xorg sessions.
