   Good to know. I'm running Mint, which updates FF and TB shortly after   
   new versions are released. For SM, I manually installed it. Never did   
   spend time figuring out how to add it to the system menu, seems menu.lst   
   is long gone :) Eventually the system noticed I was running it from the   
   command line and added it to the menu, under other or such and I moved   
   it to internet. Still don't have the icon set up. A proper deb would   
   have saved that hassle.   
   I note that SM updates itself when ever a new release happens so not too   
   bad not having a deb.
