Not only does it fail to start - but if you insist on adding invest- applet to the panel, it turns out, a process is spawned in the background anyway; and at that, a process that you cannot kill - because it respawns itself; this is what I get on Natty: $ ps axf | grep -i inve 1846 ?Sl

Well, I don't really care about investing, but this seemed like a python example for an applet which I wanted to study - so after some fiddling around, I finally got (at least) the `/usr/lib/gnome-applets/invest- applet -d --window` to show an icon and preference window. (goddamn capitalists,

Just wanted to note the following - if you have installed texlive from a script, then obviously all the necessities are on your system - but evince could still fail opening the DVI because it doesn't know where the texmf.cmf file is. That can be remedied by use of TEXMFCNF variable - however,
