Veetle player and ICEauthority

Installing the Veetle player on Ubuntu by running the install script as super user causes issues by changing the owner of your home directory to 1016 (or a similar #). This can easily be rectified by simply chown/chgrp your home directory back to your user and by replacing .ICEauthority file in your home directory with the /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority file (you also have to chown/chgrp the .ICEauthority file once you've copied it).
