I *have* worked with GNOME and sawmill, and as a result have an answer to the question he asked. I have a "Windows" keyboard, and Win+RightButton over any part of the window raises it as does Ctrl+Win+UpArrow, and right-clicking on the title bar alternately raises and lowers the window. The "Win" key is bound to "Meta", so you should be able to do the same once you find your Meta key. You can customize these bindings interactively by selecting Customize from Sawmill's pop-up menu (middle button in the root window, if you haven't discovered it already) and looking under Bindings. > Really don't know.
