I've been following along, and I haven't been able to reproduce _any_ of 
those issues on our reference Ubuntu or Fedora systems.

As it happens, bug 16848 has been on my radar ever since it was 
originally filed and we have not yet been able to find a way to 
reproduce it.

Our continuing theory is that you have some plugin installed -- possibly 
in the ~/my_livecode/Plugins/ directory -- which is causing the LiveCode 
8 IDE to throw an error on startup, inhibiting correct initialisation.

Which of the issues you describe are reproducible in a newly-created 
user account?

If anyone else is able to reproduce these problems -- especially with 
Indy or Business edition -- I'd love to hear from you, since it'll help 
the dev team track down what's going on.
