I've installed nvidia driver(Andrew E. Schulman's website) and after that I'm having a problem. After couple of reboots I get 3 errors sayin' that WindowList, ShowDesktopButton and WorkspaceSwitcher stopped unexpectedly do you want to restart these desklets(on GNOME)? So I had to restart these desklets. But the problem doesn't go away. I'm using Debian Sarge 31r2, kernel 2.6.8-2-386 and NVIDIA geforce3 Ti200 video card. Any help will be gladly appreciated. Also I searched the web with these keywords:
WindowList ShowDesktop WorkspaceSwitcher stopped unexpectedly debian
WindowList ShowDesktop WorkspaceSwitcher crashes nvidia debian
gnome applets stopped nvidia debian
gnome applets crashes nvidia debian
.....
But no luck(maybe because I'm not using the right word). I also searched forums but I couldn't find anything similar to my problems.

I took following steps for installing nvidia driver:
1) Changed /etc/apt/sources.list to:
deb
http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
2)apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-common
m-a prepare
m-a auto-install nvidia
3)apt-get -t stable install nvidia-glx
4) cp -p /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.bak
md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 >| /var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
5)addgroup --system video
adduser $USER video
6) grep -q ^nvidia /etc/modules || echo nvidia >> /etc/modules
Output of XFree86.0.log:
