+[GNOME] 2 has moved to using the [GStreamer] for audio processing, including recording and playback. Some applications may say things like:''''
-If you do not get a drop
-down menu when you click on a window's menu button, can't change the number of workspaces, and/or gnome
-control-center says "the applet encountered an error" when you try to configure sawfish, it means that
you have versions of sawfish and rep (and/or rep-gtk~[-gnome]
?) that don't like each other
. For example, you have sawfish from debian woody (stable) but a rep from debian testing or unstable, even though these packages don't have an official conflict
. Other symptoms include lines like "No such file or directory, sawfish
/client" from the command line or in your .xsession-errors file.
