WDSc Reinstall Problems

I did a complete uninstall/reinstall of WDSc (6.0) to get the EGL components
installed (skipped them originally).  I finished installing all of the
updates (don't EVEN ask how long this has taken) and now I'm seeing a couple
strange things:

1) I use Arcad Software plugins and the Changer perspective has pretty much
disappeared.  I had installed it prior to installing the updates and it was
working fine until I installed the WDSc updates.  Now whenever I try to
start the Changer perspective, I get the following popup message:
        Problems opening perspective
        'com.arcadsoftware.skipper.perspective.skipperPerspective'
I sent Arcad Support a message a short while ago to try to get help.  They
have been very good at responding and working with me, so I'll give them a
little more time.  However, if anyone else has seen this behavior, I'd love
to hear about any resolution.  Any clues where error messages might be found
for something like this?

2) While reviewing information on the problem above, I noticed under Help
--> About that I am currently at Version: 6.0.0 Build id: 20041117_2230.
This seems wrong.  I have all updates installed...I think the Version and
Build id should be at a higher level.  Can anyone confirm this?

All I can say is...I certainly hope it ends up being worth this much trouble
just to look at EGL.  For now I'd just like to be able to use WDSc again.

Thanks in advance,
