Same experience as Erik's here too. Just didn't bother to report before on mail lists but had to start few threads on forums to get it working on CentOS. In my case I stopped running BOINC from command line (via terminal or MC) from subdirectory of my home folder. Failed to install working GUI part completely. Definitely not "proper" config, but at least it worked. Not all have time/experience to make "proper" install by hands and BOINc's pack doesn't help in this task at all.
