Glad you got it working (mostly); as a side note: please do not *ever*
run Firefox/browser in root (or gksu) mode.

Also, I think that I messed up on my previous advise regarding:

sudo -i
chown -R ray:ray /home/ray

That doesn't seem to actually change root owned directories (the default
install of the 'Examples' directory is a good example. You _can_ change
the 'Examples' directory by:

sudo chown -R ray:ray /home/ray/Examples/

and that seems to work just fine. But it does not work if you use the
'chown -R ray:ray /home/ray'. So perhaps Smoot or Nils etc., can set
me/us straight on what needs to be done to change everything in your
home directory back to 'ray'.
