OK, here's a version number for you:

The Acer system WORKS FINE with a version whose HELP/ABOUT screen contains:
	GoogleEarth 5.2.1.1586
	Linux (3.10.10.0)

The one that DOES NOT work (properly) on that system is whatever Google
is now distributing as LATEST for Linux. I no longer have it installed,
and the RPM file name does not contain a version number. it's named
"google-earth-stable_current.i386.rpm". However, yumex says it's version
7.1.1.1888-0.

The Asus system is older and has a version of google earth that was
new somewhere over a year ago, and it also works fine as-is. I have
not tried the new one on it.
