Hi Walter, OK understood, sorry for jumping the gun.

I've installed v18 on 3 XOs here all running release 8.2-767, resumed  
a whole bunch of old activities and created a range of new ones from  
clean. All loaded and displayed just fine, though I do note there now  
seems a very long delay on starting or resuming TurtleArt (~20sec or  
more) where I'm left looking at a half drawn toolbar and canvas as  
TurtleArt sorts it self out (pulsing launchwindow has finished).

I erased TurtleArt-18 and used the control panel to 'update' to v10  
(that's the version G1G1 points to). TurtleArt-10 does also pause  
momentarily at half drawn toolbar and canvas, but it's only for ~2  
seconds. So there's quite a launch time regression with v18. Rendering/ 
caching all those svg tiles?
