Actually all that file says is something about an emacs sawfish file used
to edit sawfish code. It has nothing about why sawfish no longer wants to
read debia-menu. Furthermore, i believe this is a rep problem, something
has changed in rep that is making the debian-menu incomptable. It only
works when you are using gnome, and even then, you need to use the gnome
menu editor to recreate your menu because the debian-menu is still not
shown as it is. I dont know why the thing works when you install all that
gnome CRAP but after using the menu editor and basically re-writing the
entire menu and deleteing all the stuff it added on it's own, i finally
have a working useable menu. Something is messed up here.
