The only light that I can shed on this is that it works OK on my machine. I downloaded direct from the Creatures website rather than using the CD, but the program updates itself when you run it anyway so that won't be the reason.
I am using an upto-date Potato with the addition of the KDE packages from KDE net. About the only other non-Potato software that I have is Python version 2.0.1. There is a Linux Docking Station forum and also a technical FAQ accessible from http://ds.creatures.net/help.pl .
