   I spent a long time playing Shadowgate a couple years ago with some
friends, and basically we never figured out any way around any of
those different extra problems.  There are many doors that remain 
locked in the game, there doesn't appear to be any way to handle the 
rockslide, and the ledge will always crumble.

   I did notice that the Sphinx will ask you different questions most
of the time, and that whatever item it asks you to bring it is not
necessary for solving the game (at least I didn't get any).  So I
would imagine if you wanted to try and cut down on the number of
potentially useful objects you could try checking that way.
