Well, assume this:

sawfish-client

(setq mylist '("Crux" "StyleTab" "MXFlat"))
(position "Crux" mylist)
0

works. Now in SawfishConfig this code is used (with different
variable-names):

(gtk-combo-box-text-set-active widget (position value list))

widget is a GtkComboBoxText widget, value the usergiven (or fallback)
value of the setting represented by the widget (eg. frame-style), list
is the list given as options (see any 'choice or 'symbol defcustom in
Sawfish).

A GtkComboBoxText expects the index-number not the text, so position is
used to return it, with your version of position we get:

*** Bad argument: #<subr gtk-combo-box-set-active>, (), 2

so either position returns nothing or not an integer. As I now got the
time to test, I'll continue now:
New line of code before setting position:

write standard-output (format nil "*** value is: %d" x)

*** value is: #<non-number>

Againg with %s instead:

value is: flip-viewport

? from SawfishConfig it returns the value instead of the index-number.

corresponding code resides in sawfish.gtk.widget (choice and symbol
widgets), in misc-1.9 branch.
