I can confirm, that as of june 26 or something such (during Linuxtag) where i
tested this in the gnome booth on my ibook, it didn't work (and apparently
there was some kernel OOPS when parts of g-v-m was started, i had no time to
really investigate this though). Probably was never tested on non-x86.
But you will hear from me on both these issues later.

Cool, that is actually the only thing i wanted to know. I guess you where all
