[shifter-users] OpenSuse 11.3 install

[Chris Wj]

I'm having the hardest time installing and running shifter on OpenSuse11.3.
After trying a few different things, I finally installed from source using
the simple 'sudo python setup.py install' command. I couldn't install
locally before this, even with the --prefix=$HOME option. I am using the SVN
version (Revision: 3104). I it installed now (no icons or gnome-menu
though), the program files are called winswitch_*. I run winswitch_server
and it seems to run ok. I cannot run winswitch_applet or winswitch_client.

winswitch_client:
