Don't bother Straw, it's a too buggy software and the developers don't  
know what they are doing with it. Use Liferea or other RSS feeder software  
that functions better.

Do you have any dsp* in the /dev/? I noticed that if I don't build kernel  
with sound or don't load it as module like disable sound, then GNOME will  
not be stable. Few apps will crashing such as gstreamer and etc. I think,  
GNOME should return it as NULL or false if the sound doesn't exist.
