I've only used sawfish a little bit and I'm not at home where I can put 
it on my workstation box real quick so I'll try my best from memory :) 
I think there should be a $HOME/.sawfish directory and maybe a /themes 
subdir under that. Unless you're sharing your box with other ppl I 
would suggest just putting the themes in your home directory location 
instead of in /usr/share. I actually just found this doc on the 
sawmill.themes.org site:
http://sawmill.themes.org/php/docs.phtml?docid=52&secid=1.1
That should help you out.
