OK, looks like Appearance hard-codes "python2.4" as the version of
Python to use.

You can probably make it run using:

  0launch --wrapper=python2.6
http://rox.sourceforge.net/2007/interfaces/Appearance.xml

There's also an "Appearance 0.9" on the downloads page, which doesn't
have this problem, but I'm a bit confused about where this came from:

- It's not listed in the Zero Install feed (which has 0.8)
- It doesn't mention 0.8 in its changes file (gives 0.6 as the previous version)
- Calls itself "Theme" in the README
- Gives the old URL for the mailing list
- Gives a URL for itself which only lists version 0.5
- Doesn't contain the .gmo translation files

Anyone have more information about this?
