-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.

 This happened again (much later) while running Debian Testing. The answer is to 
 run the command "gst-register" or "gst-register-0.6" or "gst-register-0.8", although this should be done 
 on package installation.

+Added plugin adder with 1 feature.

+Turns out that the error lies with this version of GStreamer. Upgrading to 0.8.8 gets rid of it, but one must also upgrade libshout3 to ensure that it works. This is all running Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog pre-relrease, but it affects other Debian-based distros with Gnome (and Gnome generally, I suspect).
