comment Arrow end type [-] unknown - even though library is loaded
@ClaudioFiandrino: The single bracket works great, thank you! I see now what went wrong. To be honest, I didn't even realize that the arrow definitions had an inbuilt way of choosing between single and double arrows! That's what happens when you try to work with LaTeX without knowing all too much about it, haha. I agree, though, an option to choose between single and double arrows would be pretty useful.

comment Arrow end type [-] unknown - even though library is loaded
I just checked again and this happens for any type of bracket-like arrow tip in a smartdiagram environment even if there is a proper enclosure in {}. In a tikzpicture environment, OTOH, everything works fine. So as you said it's likely a bug in smartdiagram. I will try to contact the maintainer about it. Thank you for your answer!

@Toscho Sorry about the long example. I edited my question accordingly.

comment PowerPoint's “Smart Art” for TikZ?
@ClaudioFiandrino Thank you for this wonderful package. It really saved me a lot of time. One issue I frequently run into when writing in German - a language with a large number of long, composited words - is that TikZ, and in term smartdiagram, does not hyphenate the module contents. This seems to be because by default Tex does not hyphenate the first word of a paragraph. To troubleshoot this you can add \hspace{0pt} in front of each label, but this is tedious. Is there any way you could implement this?

comment How to install “vanilla” TeXLive on Debian or Ubuntu?
Thank you for these instructions. They were a life-saver. I wouldn't regard the installation as hard but wouldn't regard it as easy, either...

I am sorry, didn't pay enough attention to launcher in previous edit; obsolete sudo options now removed in application launcher

Replaced sudo instances with gksudo as per this Q&A: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11760/what-is-the-difference-between-gksudo-nautilus-and-sudo-nautilus ; had to type out one abbreviation to pass minimum edit character limit
