Installing Caffeine 2.4.1 on Fedora 16

Regular readers probably know that I am a big fan of the Caffeine project (https://launchpad.net/caffeine). I even contributed the Gnome Shell patches to it (http://www.lucidelectricdreams.com/2011/06/disabling-screensaverlock-screen-on.html). After a fresh install of Fedora 16 "Verne", I attempted to install the latest version of Caffeine from the project page - which at the moment is 2.4.1 - and ran into a few problems. So for anyone interested, here's how to install the latest version from source.

1. Download the tarball from Launchpad and extract it:
   

   wget http://launchpad.net/caffeine/2.4/2.4.1/+download/caffeine_2.4.1%2B419~oneiric1.tar.gz
   mkdir caffeine 
   tar xvf caffeine_2.4.1%2B419~oneiric1.tar.gz --strip-components 1 -C caffeine
   cd caffeine
   

2. Run the setup scripts:
   

   python setup.py build
   sudo python setup.py install
   

3. Update the icon cache and GSetting schemas:
   

   sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
   sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
   

4. Correct the permissions:
   

   sudo chmod 744 /usr/share/caffeine/images/*
   sudo chmod 744 /usr/share/caffeine/glade/*
   

5. To add Caffeine to startup items, run the following command and click the "Add" button. The path to the executable is /usr/bin/caffeine
