[Sugar-devel] Problem listing journal objects

[Jim Simmons]

At lunch today I tried out my latest View Slides on my XO for the
first time and found that I *could* see all of the images with the
code I was using.  So it would seem to be an issue with the Sugar test
environment that ships with Fedora 11 and 10, and not an issue with
Sugar itself.  I think.  Also, the code to add an image to the slide
show is broken on the XO but works fine in Fedora 10 and 11.

So it looks like I don't have a question after all.
