debian-powerpc: closer to solving sawfish crash on TiBook

[Brendan J Simon <brendan.simon@bigpond.com>]

Some time ago I asked if anyone had problems with the sawfish window 
manager crashing on a TiBook (running testing).  I have come some what 
closer to solving the problem.  I removed esound and some gnome sound 
applets (the mixer) and now my machine hasn't crashed for months.  I 
reinstalled esound and the gnome mixer recently to try out an app and it 
crashed with a few minutes.  I'm pretty sure it is something to do with 
esound and/or the gnome mixer.

Has anyone got any ideas to solve the problem.  I'd like to have sound 
on my expensive laptop :)

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
