Help me get to Venezuela!
http://tibsplace.co.uk/venezuela

You''re quite right in treating me as an imbecile - my complaint is that
Ubuntu shouldn't allow me to do this - or make it plain to me that the
desktop is click-sensitive.  Without your help, I'd never have guessed as I
tend to click once or twice randomly.  What are the occasions when two
clicks are needed and when one, please ?  Ta very much.
