Komodo Edit and Chrome on Ubuntu 11.10

Komodo Edit and Chrome have different methods of installing to anything you can get from the apt repository.
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit on a VM Virtual box with guest additions.
The dates in my links are the dates I saw them, as things change over time like the differences of Rails since 2006.

Firstly for Google Chrome:
My source is How to open source (as on 03/04/12)
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - from Google Linux Repositories (as on 03/03/12)
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

To find the newest Komodo Edit version, browse around http://downloads.activestate.com/Komodo/releases/
For Komodo Edit 7.02 x64
Download using chrome: http://downloads.activestate.com/Komodo/releases/7.0.2/Komodo-Edit-7.0.2-9923-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar -xvzf Komodo-Edit-7.0.2-9923-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Then make a .desktop file.

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel
gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new
This will make a popup where you can set the Icon and App location. The icons to use are in the Share folder, and the application is in the Bin folder.
