Thanks.

I've installed it, and finally figured out how to start clamtk from a 
terminal. I've got a launcher icon, but nothing happens when I click it. 
I edited the properties to put sudo in front of clamtk %f, but that 
didn't help.

I can leave the launcher icon in place as a reminder to fire it up when 
I need it.
