rsteff@Gateway-32-E-4500D:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep -i earth
google-earth-stable                install
googleearth                    install
googleearth-package                install
rsteff@Gateway-32-E-4500D:~$


In my collection of downloads I have:

googleearth_6.0.3.2197+0.7.0-1_i386.deb
google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb

I ran:

dpkg --purge googleearth
dpkg --purge googleearth-package

Now I have only one entry in the applications menu, and it is the 
correct one -- GE 7. Fortunately I'm not particularly interested in the 
photos attached to GE, since I only get a blank window when I click on 
one of those icons. This was mentioned by others in the Googling I did 
earlier.

Thanks to all for the assistance.
