[Live-demo] Problems / mistakes in live DVD

[activityworkshop]

For what it's worth, I tried reproducing some of these issues using a 
Xubuntu Meerkat CD, and found that many of them are still there - which 
I guess means they're not just OSGeo issues...

Problem is still there in Meerkat but it's not quite as bad as I thought 
- if you do a "go to center of track" then the display and the scale bar 
seem to sort themselves out.  Obviously depending on the zoom, going to 
the center of the track doesn't necessarily show you any of the track at 
all, but anyway...

>> JOSM - The top of the window is obscured by Xfce's top panel.  That 
>> also means the window can only be moved or resized by using the keyboard.
Still there in Meerkat.

>> On the "about Xubuntu" screen, it says 9.10, but the system seems to 
>> be based on lucid 10.04
I thought this might be OSGeo taking an old version of the Xubuntu docs 
but even in the official Xubuntu Meerkat it still says 9.10 :/

>> Viking - in the "go to waypoint" function, the dialog's title says 
>> "Create", but no creation is going on here.
Still there in Meerkat.

I've never made a live disc, so I don't know the issues.  I just assumed 
that when you customise a vanilla disc image, you copy the desktop 
picture over the default one, you copy your menu items over etc, so I 
guessed that you'd just copy a pre-prepared bookmarks file over on top 
of the default Firefox one.  But I'm just guessing there :)
