Here's a list of things that seem to have problems running on linux
from the panel and their error messages. I only checked things that
didn't claim not to run under linux and I didn't look at the pages the
menu items point to. Enjoy.


Utilities:  Ical- xalf: Failed to launch ical \nchild died: Segmentation fault
		(though appears fine from command line)
	    Time Tracker tool- xalf: error: couldn't find gtt in PATH
		(can't find otherwise)

trying to run it says its not executable)
