Perhaps i need to apt-get something first.
Following the instructions in the README failed also.

Probably you have dual architecture configuration x86 + i386. Warning
during update could be ignored but:

sudo apt-get install sawfish

fails with:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 sawfish : Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.9.0) but 2.8.0-3ubuntu9.1 is
to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

probably due to fact, that newer package versions were available on
unstable debian than current ubuntu.

Something like this worked for me

export CONFIG_SHELL="/bin/bash" # important for libtool problem

for each librep rep-gtk sawfish perform
   apt-get source <pkg>
   sudo apt-get build-dep <pkg>
   cd <pkg-src-dir>
   dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
   cd ..
   sudo dpkg -i <created.debs>

Hmm well that said it was a "x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux" system! It IS
important for several softwares (such as gimp) to take advantage of
the 8G the sys has though. Perhaps The difference between AMD64and
x86_64 is big enough though to require recompiling. Are there any good
instructions on how to do this?

Run "uname -a" once to check your installed version.

I'm not sure if you can install 64bit software on a 32bit system.

Well that could be good for me ... the machine IS a (duo) 64b! How do
i convince Synaptic of that though? i believe at install i used the
32b option instead.It would be rather misteak prone to do a direct
install, especially as i do not know, yet, how to do that properly.

Ahh... my repo only has AMD64, no i386. But you could download the
sources and compile from those (since it's deb-src it will tell you
about missing deps)

Synaptic failed to install Sawfish saying:

"Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages firs."

Perhaps it is because when i updated the package list a dialog said:

GPG error: http://apt.nanolx.org photonic InRelease: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not
available: NO_PUBKEY 4B9D3375057549E2Failed to fetch
http://apt.nanolx.org/dists/photonic/main/binary-i386/Packages  500
Internal Server Error Some index files failed to download. They have
been ignored, or old ones used instead.

BTW the Starfish-pager is not marked as coming from nano...
