Those last suggestions of yours were really good. I had a look in the ~/ dir and ls -a showed a hidden directory for every program I have installed. When I checked in each they had funnily enough config files that as you said:

had package lists and sensible program defaults in them.

I think I'll copy that style of application launching.
Thanks for your patience, it has been really helpful for me.

Jason.
