Yes I believe so. I am more interested though in /why/ (given we're
using a codebase similar to the Windows version) it doesn't "just work".
Gerry converted this stuff (hi Gerry!) and I'm hoping he's going to chime
in and say something like "oh yes just uncomment the following line from
this file which was commented out as we didn't have default document loading
working then". I suspect what is happening is that it is using the wrong
document template (I think there's a very basic internal code generated
one) which is potentially dangerous for lots of reasons.
