[Companion] Bar is there but it is blank. {Can we add a note to the webpage!}

[Shane Volpe]

This issue has shown up countless times on the mailing
list.  Can we add a note on the mozdev webpage telling
Linux users what must be done to get companion
working?  In other words a simple note saying they
must install companion and then change the permissions
of yahootoolbar_saves (chmod +x yahootoolbar_saves).

The ideal solution would be to have the permissions
automatically set with the install script, is that
possible?

Shane
