So it appears that even though the Properties window was being produced its floating window was not displaying properly. This is probably an issue with my/Ubuntu's Compiz/XGL configuration. I saw in the guide that they recommended turning the GL Desktop off, but was that just for the installation, or will the Notes client not support a GL desktop yet/ever?
There's not an explicit GL Desktop menu item in Ubuntu 6.10 when installing from the repositories (I know the gandalfn packages and beryl installers do), so does one have to just have them installed and configured, but without a compiz.real process running?
Regardless, I was able to get the Database Properties floater to stay put long enough to confirm that the Mail file had not been upgraded and changed the template to dwa. A quick design refresh and Bang! All kinds of beautiful.
Oddly, my custom-named address book(i.e. not names.nsf) got upgraded automatically to the new template. Very strange. I'll have to comb the logs to see what was going on there.
One thing that DEFINITELY smoothed things out was taking my Linux client 7-based notes.ini and culling out ANY reference that wasn't a link to an .id file, a folder reference (updated for the notes8 home folder structure) or a reference to a template version starting with 8. Once I did that, I was able to get the client setup wizard and things have not crashed nearly as much.
Incidentally, wasn't there supposed to be a way to dock the object properties floater in Notes 8? Am I misinformed? Is it not obviously located? Not slated? Bueller? :p
All in all, not bad. Not bad.
