Hamish,
Are you aware that in osgeolive5.5b3, we don't have a
"Geospatial" tab in the top tool bar, which opens up the
pull down list of applications, as per:

yes, see ticket #855
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/855
Do you know how to fix this?
Alex might. Before digging into any changes, a possible work-around is to
not auto-login as 'user' upon first raw xubuntu boot, then ctrl-alt-f1
to a tty login, start gnu `screen`, and run the dvd build from there.
then only log in as 'user' once all the updated xfce scripts are in place.
hopefully we can make the already-installed menu change, but it might
be that changes are overwritten when 'user' logs out from xfce if it
is logged in to a session during build.
an alternative to ctrl-alt-f1 is to change the session login type to
fwm or fluxbox or something minimal to do the build, instead of trying to
have xfce do brain surgery on itself while it's still awake.

What I had been doing was logging into the setup Xubuntu, bringing it up
to date with apt. Then rebooting. On reboot instead of auto-login, I
would change the session to a Terminal session(it has a drop down with
options) and run the install from there. So I wasn't logged into XFCE
desktop while running the build.
Hence why I think the script had been working.
Thanks,
Alex
