I poked at Control Panel a bit in the hope that reports of specific
things not working on specific platforms might help out with
triage and debugging.
Unless otherwise noted, tested with a clean (from /usr/prototype_user)
set of dotfiles in the gu account.

* sawfish-capplet fails to start with error:
Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_signal_disconnect_by_data(): could not find handler containing data (0x10185F70)
Mitch suggested this might be because it's trying to run gtar, but
running "add gnu" at the prompt before starting "gnomecc" from the
same prompt didn't fix it. "add gnu" did enable "sawfish-ui" to work
when it otherwise wasn't.
* gnomecc spits out the following on close:
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcontainer.c: line 730: assertion `widget->parent == GTK_WIDGET (container)' failed.
** CRITICAL **: file gtk-multiview.c: line 446: assertion `list != NULL' failed.
Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `gboolean' to `GtkWidget'
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 3497: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed.
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkctree.c: line 5155: assertion `GTK_IS_CTREE (ctree)' failed.

- gnomecc: Launch feedback is listed twice.
- gnomecc Spits out errors when:
- Starting background-properties-capplet:
Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_signal_disconnect_by_data(): could not find handler containing data (0x193570)
- Starting screensaver capplet (fails to start):
xalf: error: couldn't find xscreensaver-demo in PATH
GLib-CRITICAL **: file gmain.c: line 500 (g_source_remove): assertion `tag > 0' failed.
Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkcursor.c: line 86 (gdk_cursor_destroy): assertion `cursor != NULL' failed.
- Starting "File Types and Programs" capplet
Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_signal_disconnect_by_data(): could not find handler containing data (0x1B2E00)
- Clicking on the Sound Events tab in the "Sound" capplet (first
time only)
Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_signal_disconnect_by_data(): could not find handler containing data (0x1CAFD0)
- Trying to start the Sawfish/Appearances capplet (which doesn't
work)
Gdk-ERROR **: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
serial 289 error_code 10 request_code 88 minor_code 0
Gdk-ERROR **: BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)
serial 290 error_code 14 request_code 55 minor_code 0
Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x5400020 unexpectedly destroyed
(gnomecc then hung, of course, due to the sawfish-capplet problem)
- The "default editor" capplet lets the user chose programs that
aren't even on the system, like gEdit. (I'm not sure where this
would actually be noticed, though, unles the user uses gmc or
Nautilus.)
- Starting the background-properties-capplet in gnomecc changes the
background color, even though from a light blueish green to a
slightly darker shade, even though I've not futzed with anything
yet (as far as I remember).
- The menu tab on the panel capplet doesn't have the expected effect
because it operates only on the menu that pops up when you
right-click the panel, rather than the footprint menu. Perhaps
this could be clearly documented.
