Thanks both. Fine in Linux - but will make some changes for those on lesser OSes :-)

Linux-on-the-desktop superiority complexes are usually annoying- but this one is especially amusing to me, since you're replying to a thread about discovering a major deficiency in your font rendering.
The Klout score is a joke. My score never falls below 56, which I hear is pretty good, and I am in no way influential. I hardly ever tweet and have maybe 12 followers.

Why is it illegal in Europe? Klout analyses your Twitter interactions which are publicly visible.
In Europe you it's opt-in by default. You have to explicitly consent to the creation of an account as far as I understand it. So, to me, they could scrap content but not go as far as create automatically an account without your consent. Or I misunderstood something and would be glad someone explains it to me.
So if you have a twitter account, they can generate a score for the twitter user using publicly available information and then if you sign up to klout, link these existing calculations to the newly created account.
Better option: don't get a job that involves raising your social media "influence", unless you want that to be your job? A manager could equally well bring up your number of twitter followers (that's publicly viewable, right?) in a performance review.
Case in point: some recruiters are starting to take Twitter follower counts into consideration. That trend, coupled with all the perverse incentives associated with having a putatively massive Twitter following, have led to the gaming of Twitter, the purchase of zombie followings, the proliferation of bot farms, and so forth.
We'd better believe the same thing will happen with Klout if it ever becomes even mildly important in professional life.
