Well, it's one of the latter two I'm sure. The file I installed from is
called communicator-v472-export.x86-unknown-linux2.2.tar.gz which seemed the
most appropriate one to install for a glibc2.1.2 installation at the time,
so I guess it's probably the Unsupported/Linux version.
Could try reinstalling I suppose...
BTW the control panel does work when run standalone (ie: running the
ControlPanel script directly).
