There is a missing dependency for the sawfish package. It needs rep-gtk so that it's menu and configuration tool will run. It's not needed to make the program run, but it's needed to make it useable at all.
This task depends upon

umm i don't know how long bugs usually linger in this database but i just spent 4 hours coming to the same conclusion as the poster above; that sawfish-ui won't start up unless you have rep-gtk installed. Before i realised this i was reading lisp documentation to try to change a theme... Not fun.

when i *got* it installed i realised how 'effin great sawfish really is, and how easy it is to get it to behave like you want it to.

To fix simply add 'rep-gtk' to depends.

This is one of those really easy to fix, but large gain situations :) (yes i know you know probably know lisp phrakture :))

Aaron, libtool files probably also need killed off for sawfish.
