Comment 4 for bug 389465

I get what you mean, and I think you're right that it could be more obvious that some files need the exec bit, but still, we should promote the use of repositories, even for external programs like google earth.
Maybe we can find a way to promote the use of medibuntu repos out of the system without violating anyone's rights.
The problem with decisions like this is, it has to be made by the informed ones, so the less informed ones have an easier life. And I thought this bugreports where here to discuss which issues should be solved and which way to go. I merely stated my point of view, noone should feel bound to oblige exactly me... Maybe I was just too hard in my wording.
