Above and beyond the call, Chris :-)

I just get frustrated when people complain about a lack of response, when
it's clear from any survey of the postings that if anybody has a clue,
there'll be plenty of response.  So not getting a response usually just
means we don't know.

otoh, I don't really agree that he tried.  I had gone back to his original
post and he said "all I get are gtk errors" - if he'd tried to run it and
seen _no_ errors, I'd have had a response for that, but since he did see
errors, it would have been really helpful to tell us what they were.

And now that Chris has solved your problem, Jeremy, please file a bug report
so that the maintainer can fix it.  I don't think that location is any more
correct in Debian than Ubuntu.
