I'm releasing another version of the clip art browser. Lots of bug fixes, some performance improvements, code cleanups, and a new installation procedure (yes, yet another).
Installation is now 3 steps, and hopefully easier than ever:
1) Satisfy the dependencies of Python 2.4 and PyGTK 2.6.
2) Download and run the following script, which installs the python setuptools:

3) Run "easy_install clipartbrowser"
As you can see, I've switched the installation system from Makefiles to the python setuptools. The setuptools are still under development (they're apparently going to be included in python 2.5), and I'm still very much learning how to use them, so the packaging isn't as polished as it needs to be, but this makes installation a breeze. Eventually, it should allow arbitrary python dependencies to be intelligently installed as well using the same process.
I'm still working on getting this integrated back into the Inkscape effects menu, that's next on the list. As always, feedback greatly appreciated.
