Another Update

The method used to prevent having to re-enter the sudo password through a recursive function call failed so I created a function call with a loop that runs in the background set to keep sudo going for an hour 15 minutes which is a generous amount of time to download or install anything or run Tiger or Winetricks on slow computers. Of course, I also added a function call to reset a variable wich in turn kills the loop when it is no longer needed and had both function calls called at any time when there is a possibility of things taking too long due to a delay. The loop should also stop after awhile if the program terminates and is terminated when the program starts doing stuff again after it was stopped using ctrl-c.

Or, in layman's terms (or tldr), I took a defunct process for keeping sudo going, replaced it with something that works and made it intelligent.

Regarding the background issue, the background no longer being able to change in GDM was due to an update in GDM installed by using the apt-get dist-upgrade command. In the next version I will make that command optional since not all people want to upgrade their linux distros to the latest version anyway. Again, a solution to the background being stuck at default has been posted in the forum.

As for the rest of the issues, I am currently downloading Ubuntu versions 12.04 to 14.10 and will be testing out this project on those versions in order to find out what needs to be adjusted for earlier versions because I can not replicate the errors mentioned in troubleshooting in the current version of Ubuntu, 14.10 Utopic Unicorn at the time of this post.
