actually, at this point no windows or menus appear for me. i should
follow up with the user to see if that is true for her as well, but in my
case it seems to die during intialization.

this was the first one, and from someone who just wanted to play with it.
she didn't seem too upset when i told her that i'd report it but it wasn't
supported in any real way.
i'll try deleting any jws directories i have and running it again.
thanks!
