Sheesh. Are there other rpms that install applications that won't do anything useful without doing something else first? I can't think of any I've run across, either ever, or a very long time.
I had to do something with Thunderbird first before it did anything useful. I had to enter (all) my email account details, the host serving them, the login name and password and what type of handshake and port. Then there's my printer. I had to make use of the vendors disk/web site to get the PPD file and configure CUPS to make make use of it before I could print. I had to tell CUPS that it was network connected, had only the one paper tray, that I wanted the double sided 'tumble' to be on the long edge, and that I was using 'letter' sized paper not A4, the DPI and print quality I wanted. I could probably find more examples.
