I sort of found a solution. I'm using knoppix. In konsole, type 'xhost
+' and then go through the normal installation process. It works! My
problem now is where to find the damn prog, so I can start it without
using the ruddy command line .... Each time I create a shortcut icon, it
starts the 1.0.2 version. Linux is so easy
