Bingo.

This appears to be EXACTLY the problem.

My thought is that there might be a config file somewhere we can hand edit to change that value. But I can't figure out where on the bloody n800 the app is being installed! It's not in the default location for comix, /usr/local and it doesn't seem to be in any of the other obvious places, like /usr/share or /usr/share/applications or /home/user/apps

Comix acts works GREAT overall on this device, but this is a VITAL problem. Solve it, and then this thing is really ready to rock.
