Yes, that's it! I tried a fresh install to the equivalent Documents subfolder and jqt fails to start. Running ./jqt from the bin directory shows that it can't find the Qt plugins folder (even though it's there). Moving the j902 folder to your home folder should make it work if you followed the steps in my earlier email. I'll see if I can figure out why the documents folder is treated in a different way than the home folder. Norman
