Just a quick mention. Some may have errors when the program reaches the metacity part. Make sure you have the python-metacity package installed through synaptic. Seems its another dependency left out somehow. Frankly I am not going to bother with this even after getting it to run now. After installing per the instructions supplied, I still had to go and physically find and add 3 of the dependencies myself. This was not mentioned nor was it brought up during the installation or upon attempting to run it. I had to run it from the terminal, read the errors and go find the missing dependencies. Sorry but thats not a finished package IMHO. I will attempt to try it out because I have it all in now, but had I known I doubt I would have bothered. And I am sure most people (far less OCD than myself) would pass on this as well. The program does show promise though, and I hope it is finished soon.
