Wierd.  When you attempt to start Appearance you get the message:
*** Remote sawfish error: (error "can't parse tar file listing line (GNU 
or Solaris tar required): -rw-r--r-- test-32/test-32  60 2009-12-23 
03:47 gradient/README\012")

(test-32 is the user name).

Now, I can "tar -txzf /usr/share/sawfish/1.6.0/themes/gradient.tar.gz" 
successfully, but does the error mean that it is trying to use the file 
README as an argument list to tar?
