Okay, I've tested everything successfully under Ubuntu 13.XX now:

1) Downloading&untar'ing my MD distro
2) Installing libgnomeui-0 due to that GnomePlatform error at 
launching MD (okay, that was indeed a main problem until now..but 
well, I'm off Ubuntu for..2 years now?)
3) Installing dmd from the d/l page
4) Installing Mono-D & the Gdb debugging addin

5) Add the dmd include path to Mono-D's settings
6) Making a test D project
7) Compile & Debug it

Now where's the actual problem with this 'routine'?

Which point except 2) wasn't written on my installation page 
already?
