Awn-Manager stops working in Foresight (Dell)

This morning, although Foresight booted up fine on the Dell, I found that the awn-manager wouldn't work.
I have a strong suspicion this was due to some of the dependencies (Gtk2) I had to install to get checkgmail working in Foresight yesterday.
It seems that part of the process to get awn-launched involves calling /usr/lib/libtiff.so.x (where x is 3, or 4 or something).
Now libtiff.so.4 was being looked for but wasn't available only libtiff.so.3 or libtiff.so.3.8.2
So, I symlinked libtiff.so.3.8.2 to libtiff.so.4 and then everything worked fine.
I posted this to the awn forums and got a lot of help with this.
