Hmmm?

I just did an

apt-get install sawfish

Nothing was added to /usr/share/xsessions automatically - I had to do it myself.

Is installing via apt "some old-fashioned or incomplete method", then?
I can see how manual tweaking might be needed if you compiled from
source, but frankly, when I used the package manager itself, I didn't
expect to have to manually add the new WM into xsessions. I didn't on
SuSE 9, the last time I tried this.

However, it's not hard to do. All you need to know is the name of the
main binary of the new WM.
