Right, comment 11 says:
"If they don't, the other thing that can happen is 2.2 can fail to start from
the 2.2 icon, and 2.2 will not start its MM GUI -- the user has to figure out
to do this on their own. "

I was able to start MM and select the kepler-2.2 suite.  It was not at all
obvious.

I don't think we should go back and patch 2.2.

We should document how to move between the releases and be sure that it can be 
done.  I can't get back to 2.3 right now.  Deleting ~/.kepler and ~/KeplerData 
would probably do it.


About hacking the configuration because the files are only visible in test
area,
I'm not so sure if that is such a good test to validate that the
problem has been fixed.  It means that I'm not running what users will
be running.

Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but these failures are mysterious and
confusing to users.
