Emmanuel, thanks for your detailed instructions.  They were very
helpful, and I seem to be on the right track.  However, I still can't
get the desktop to start.  I receive an error:

 Failed to start the Desktop: Failure loading desktop class


Maybe you encountered the same problem and could give me a hint?

Thanks!
