The horae tarball is distributed with all the CPAN modules that are required
for the program.  In order to save archive space and because one of the
modules is non-free, the tarball has been modified from the original by
completely removing the contents of the 0CPAN directory.

The Ifeffit perl wrapper is not built as it is available as a separate
package.

The horae_update program is not included with the distribution as it is not
used for Debian.

If you have visibility problems with the fixed fonts in artemis or athena or
the fonts are so large that buttons are missing at the bottom of the window,
you will need to edit ~/.horae/athenarc or ~/.horae/artemisrc to resolve the
problem.  The font information is a the bottom of these two files and the
fonts most likely to need changes for visibility are those identified as
"fixed" and "entry".  Increasing or decreasing the point sizes by 2 should
improve legibility or allow display of the buttons in the windows.

The freedesktop.org standards put all scientific software into a top level
menu category called "Education".  This is short-sighted and just plain
wrong but until they change it, has to be rectified in the Window Manager
configurations.  KDE and Gnome already provide for a "Science" top level
category but XFCE4 does not.  It is relatively easy to make this change,
however.

1. in /etc/xdg/menus edit xfce-applications.menu to have an entry which
reads:
    <Menu>
        <Name>Science</Name>
        <Directory>xfce-science.directory</Directory>
        <Include>
            <Category>Science</Category>
        </Include>
    </Menu>

and modify the Education entry to read:
    <Menu>
        <Name>Education</Name>
        <Directory>xfce-education.directory</Directory>
        <Include>
            <And>
                <Category>Education</Category>
                <Not><Category>Science</Category></Not>
            </And> 
        </Include>
    </Menu>


2. in /usr/share/desktop-directories add a file called
xfce-science.directory with contents as listed below.  Icons are taken by
default from the /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/categories directory and
fortunately, there is an applications-science.png icon there.
