Hi Jack,

Please update to the most recent version and see if things work better
for you now!

I am trying to address all the issues I find, so I have modified the
firstrun script fairly completely and brought some of the code into
similar functions

I think it is much more extensible and will work better.


I will have to look into installing seamonkey though... this is not
something I have tried much.

I will look into fixing the vim issue, I do not think vim is installed,
so that is the problem... not sure why a desktop file for it was
installed, though.
