Ian,

you do surprise me with your patience!  I have used explorer 0.8.0 from debian 
packages.  I noticed that the much discussed phrase in the Welcome slide:

"Welcome to Bazaar Explorer. To get started, select an action below."

has been replaced with the simpler and more explicit one:

"What would you like to do?"

Clearly, I had to download the latest explorer v 0.8.2 and now my images 
hopefully will be the same as yours.  I also installed the latest-greatest 
bazaar2.0 to be closer to your slides, but continue to use the bazaar2.0 quite 
recently installed from ubuntu debian packages to my "jaunty" installation. I 
expect it is really very similar to the "cutting-edge" version..

Thank you for specifying image size.

OldAl.
