-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.

GStreamer-ERROR **: No default scheduler name - do you have a registry ?

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.

+Having upgraded my GStreamer installation (to 0.8.1), I got the following error message with every Gnome-based sound program:
+
+ Failed to create the player: Couldn't initialize scheduler.
+ Did you run gst-register?
+
+Running gst-register as suggested this happened:
+<pre>
+Added plugin adder with 1 feature.
+Added plugin videobalance with 1 feature.
+Added plugin riff with 0 features.
+/usr/bin/gst-register-0.8: relocation error: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstvorbis.so: undefined symbol: gst_tag_register_musicbrainz_tags
+</pre>
+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).
