warning: group bear does not exist - using root
warning: user bear does not exist - using root
warning: group bear does not exist - using root

Running as root, startuup appears to be normal.

Running as a normal user, I get a startup image and then the following in a 
window:

Chandler encountered an unexpected problem while trying to start.
Here are the bottom 5 frames of the stack:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Chandler.py", line 174, in main
    realMain()
  File "Chandler.py", line 160, in realMain
    app = wxApplication(redirect=False, useBestVisual=True)

    raise self.saxError()

  File "/usr/local/Chandler/repository/query/Query.py", line 7, in ?
    import repository.query.parser.QueryParser as QueryParser
ImportError: No module named QueryParser

This appeared to be an issue with permissions, so I went into the chandler 
directory (/usr/local/Chandler) and did a chmod -R a+r *.

That fixed things up and my user account can now start Chandler.

actually, I believe it should be rpm -e Chandler

yes and yes
