Yeah, that's not implemented yet.

If you click the S when using an activity (browser for example) it will 
share it on the network and others can join it. This is still fragile 
though so you might get issue... The other icons are not implemented.
When other buddies join the activity they will appear in place on the 
white x-o icons. Clicking on one of them will add it to your friends.

You can click F5 to get the frame back. See also README for the other keys.

Note that the UI is very much still a work in progress. Once it's all 
implemented it should be easy and intutive to use.

Thanks for testing,
