Since I'm in Linux, I have to run a special 1.07 version of Dink Smallwood called FreeDink. But the entire main menu seems broken! There is no menu, just a loading screen, then I get thrown right into the game but the entire background is a loading screen and weird glitches happen. I guess this isn't supposed to happen?

Real lurkers don't appear on the lurkers list. 
What's not supposed to be is your running Dink from Linux.

That IS supposed to be because it's FreeDink. So far all Dmods have been able to run correctly, except for this one. So my question is: does this need v1.08 or something, since it won't work on my version?

Back from the ashes 
Open "start.c" and comment out/remove the line that says "playavi("anim\rtlogo.avi");" (line 6) That fixes the problem with the start screen at least. Well, except that the button used for starting a new game is not placed at the right place, but it's possible to click it still.
