[Chimera-users] Proxy / graphics issues related to Virtual Box?

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Chris,

   Your problems are system configuration and Virtual Box bugs. Menus 
appearing behind the window -- is certainly a window system bug.  Your 
fetching errors and chimera update errors are network connection 
problems.  It doesn't look like any of this has to do with Chimera.

     Tom
