Then what ? In my case they used to display a screen asking to press a
key, and then segafaulted, if I did so.

I have tracked the problem and corrected it. Will commit to CVS in a few
minutes.

The problem is not in the demos, but in the installation. The ggi2d
rendering libs get installed in another place than what the libggi2d.conf
assumes. Moreover libggi.conf does not by default .include the 
libggi2d.conf.

I have patched that up and added a warning to the main code, that informs
you of such misconfigurations.

Should appear in the snapshots tomorrow or something.

CU, ANdy
