The IceWM window-offset bug is fixed, too :-)
Now, they need to stop trying to load that retarded default font and 
read the gtkrc for the default font. "Andale Sans UI"?!?

I get /extremely/ bad fonts on the installer and main app until I 
override the font choice. Whatever its picking to substitute for Andale 
Sans UI, it appears to be using approx 2 char widths per char,

s o   i t   l o o k s  l i k e  t h i s

and is really painful.

> I don't know enough about all this to not sound stupid here, but when it loads up (take swriter as an example) all the drop down menus along the top toolbars as well as the top menubar itself are all enormous.  I can adjust the size under the view options, but it only affects some of them, and in some cases only affects the fonts in the boxes, not the boxes themselves .. all a bit random and not entirely pretty, but at least this version loads up :)

Works fine for me - font problem? Try overiding the default font with a 
good one. Just enter a font replacement in tools->options, 
general->fonts to replace "Andale Sans UI" with something you know is 
installed. "Luxi Sans" or "Bitstream Vera Sans" being good choices.
