There's no auto-login. Hasn't been for awhile. Dean did away with it.
Don't feel bad, I forgot about that, too.

Yep, oddly enough kaze isn't listed as one of the depends. Go figure.

> firefox | firefox-2 | iceweasel | mozilla-firefox | iceape-browser | mozilla-browser | epiphany-gecko | epiphany-webkit | epiphany-browser | galeon | midbrowser | moblin-web-browser | xulrunner | xulrunner-1.9 | konqueror | chromium-browser | midori | google-chrome

So one of those (or at least a fake) would need to be installed. But I say just install iceweasel and forget it.
I almost added the username and password to the gdm login screen in the past but realized if someone changed those passwords then that would be confusing, especially if they did a snapshot and shared it with others.

kaz pulled in xulrunner-1.9.1, but I guess that wasn't an exact match, so it didn't work. I tried a symlink in /usr/bin, but that wasn't enough to do it. Still not sure what I'm going to do with the browser. The thought crossed my mind to repackage the java deb, but I don't think I'll bother with that. I don't want to stray too far from the debian repos. There's already more than enough to keep track of. Iceweasel keeps looking better.

snapshot gets called with gksu
installer gets called via su -c
just wondering if there was a reason for the difference

I changed the installer to 'su -c' because the terminal didn't work right with gksu. When you got to editing sudoers or changing the password, you couldn't type anything. Snapshot doesn't require a terminal. The downside of using 'su -c' is that it asks you for the root password when it starts.

I wonder if......maybe something crazy like....
gksu su -c refractainstaller
might work and bypass that password prompt
or
you maybe create a /bin/refractainstaller-launcher that has
su -c refractainstaller
and then call it with gksu refractainstaller-launcher
as soon as I get a chance I will play with it....if you are interested in getting rid of the prompt

Yes, please try it. I'd be happy to get rid of the password prompt.

I think I have came up with two or three ways to do this. The easiest is to simply edit the refractainstaller.desktop file and change it to

Code:
  `Exec=gksu 'xfce4-terminal -e /usr/bin/refractainstaller-gui'
  Terminal=false
  `
