Yep.
You're 100% correct.
Just completed the whole plot on my Linux box.

Would still be nice to know what Win driver/renderer does work........

Regards & thanks,

PS: I love windows bashing - my main desktop is Win7 64bit, but whenever 
I need to do anything 'production' related, I use my Linux setup.
Now if only these Win-Twits would wean themselves of WORD/Excel/Etc and 
get happy with LibreOffice........
