[clug] Ubuntu Netbook Edition - simple question (hopefully)

Hey All,
I recently tested Ubuntu Netbook within VirtualBox and liked many features
especially the 'singleton' launch of applications. (i.e. If you try to
launch an application a second time you just get focus put back to the
already launched copy.)
I thought that this would suit my forgetful grey-haired mother and so I
installed Ubuntu 10.04 for her and then used Synaptic to install
ubuntu-netbook-* and netbook-launcher-efl. I thought that this would give
me the same result as installing Ubuntu Netbook Edition, however I am not
getting applications launched as singletons (and some other minor
differences). I have compared version numbers of the various bits to those
in the VirtualBox install and I can't see any differences.
It seems crazy to me reinstall Ubuntu Netbook Edition just to solve this
problem (and go through another round of automatic updates).
I Googled and came up with nothing useful. Does anybody have any ideas?
Cheers
Sanders
