All of this stuff listed as "fixed" was submitted this morning and
should be checked in this evening for a rebuild aimed for (hopefully)
a beta release tomorrow. None of it has been tested, so you might
want to re-check after you have all these alleged fixes. (The fixes
were all simple tweaks once the problem was understood, so hopefully
they should all work.)
> Desktop->Screensaver fails:
Fixed.
> Desktop->Window Manager lists:
Fixed by de-listing the window manager capplet from control center.
> "Look and Feel" and "Sawfish window manager" entries fail:
Fixed; a necesary file wasn't getting installed.
> Session->Session Properties fails:
Fixed by de-listing the session properties capplet from control
center. I also de-listed the gnome hints capplet since that doesn't
work for us either.
> middle-click->Customize->[any choice] seems to do nothing
Same problem as the sawfish capplet problem, so also fixed.

Fixed, though it isn't pretty.
