For what it's worth, the package I got completely failed to install the plugins and mime types, I had to run the relevant scripts by hand. Unfortunately I can't remember if it was an aliened rpm or a deb, but it looked like the packager included the scripts and then forgot to run them. Though I looked at the postintall.sh and it does run the mime type script (but not the plugins script). -chris
