Bug Description
Binary package hint: sawfish
When attempting to open sawfish-ui (the program that executes when using the config menu) on the Appearance settings or all settings (which includes Appearance settings), sawfish-ui terminates immediately.
$ sawfish-ui
*** Unbound variable: gtk-preview-new
(You're accessing an undefined variable or function `gtk-preview-new')
This is apparently a known problem:

Lucid uses sawfish 1.3.5.2 and rep-0.90. Karmic and below apparently use older versions of rep and are not affected.
I'd suggest the following changes:
* Package sawfish 1.5.2 or higher
* Add dependency information to indicate that sawfish requires rep, and that <1.5.2 is incompatible with rep-0.90+. There's currently no dependency in the sawfish package on rep at all (which is really a bug in its own right; without rep installed, sawfish-ui can't even run and thus no menus are available in sawfish).
