Thanks for that titbit -- I have to disagree that "everyone installs it this way", because I certainly hadn't! (I installed on Ubuntu from the chromium-daily launchpad ppa). That fix makes me feel a bit better, but it's still a nasty blow against the idea of open and free formats.

Edit: I must be doing something wrong, because I can't get it to work. This might be a distro/version/phase of moon-specific fix?
