[Greasemonkey] Chickenfoot... Maybe not

I installed Chickenfoot just now. Thought I'd take it for a spin.

Went to their "Quick Start Guide" and entered the three-line script  
there:

go("google.com")
enter("uist 2005")
click("google search")

Instant failure:

Error: page not loaded: use 'whenLoaded' on Mac/Linux
  in anonymous() line 530
     getLoadedHtmlDocument() line 4391
     getDocument() line 935
     enter() line 999
     top level line 3

OK, I think... How hard can this "whenLoaded" thing be?

I poke around in the docs and come up with this:

whenLoaded(function handler, Window window)

         * handler
         * window

     Executes the given handler when the given window finishes loading.

And this is supposed to be easier then JavaScript, how?

Chickenfoot just went the way of so many extensions: in, then out  
again right away.
