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.
