Cmap tools

[Greg Smith]

Hi Michael and Bert,

It got quiet enough that I had a chance to try this myself.

I tried installing and running the X activity and I tried following the 
instructions here: 
http://www.hackszine.com/blog/archive/2007/12/run_a_nested_x11_desktop_on_th.html 


In both cases I got a gray screen with a "bar" showing "Workspace" with 
two triangles next to it (left and right facing) on the left side of the 
bar and the time with the same triangles on the right side.

I didn't see my pointer in the Hackfest version but I did in the X 
window version. In both cases I didn't see any place to enter text (e.g. 
a window). Am I missing something?

I was hoping to get an X window with a prompt so I could install CMap 
tools from there.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg S
