Success!  Didn't change a thing, except having VMMaker already loaded.  
This time, the "initializing..." progress bar didn't even appear long 
enough to be noticeable, the various tests worked and I started playing 
around with the browser after putting the nib in the right place.

Third time lucky?   (Versions were exact same ones you mentioned, all 
freshly downloaded)

Now I'll play around with it some more....I see you are using the 
threaded model...interesting...but it's so wonderful to finally have 
this in place!

Cheers,

Marcel
