Yes. But when the users kept trying to suggest a three step process I 
have heard elsewhere....eg. I figured that I would just try and install 
something that works.
    1. Remove application
    2. Reboot
    3. Install application

I notice the Ubuntu forums are full or rebooters. But having said that I 
should really be welcoming them all, as one day I will be able to get a 
job at a company that runs linux on the desktop. I look forward to it.
