Hello, David
The only way that I can successfully start Easytag is from a terminal.  
So, there is no error messages that I could possibly send you.  So the 
questions are:
1. How to output debug information when you just click directly on an 
executable when trying to start said executable.
2. How to output debug information when clicking on the appropriate item 
on my desktop.  Also, is there a way to run/execute a desktop file from 
a terminal?

If you are after build/install logs, you can find those here:

I really suspect that since I have installs of easytag going all the way 
back to May 11th that all exhibit this behavior that the issue is on my 
end, not with Easytag.  But like I said in my original email on this 
subject, I am not having this issue with any other applications.

If you need any more information, or are able to tell me how to get you 
the information that you have already requested, I will gladly get that 
to you.
