[Cialug] I'm so bummed

[Dave Hala]

I did a clean install from the ISO DVD, got everything working with KDE
Plasma workspaces then I installed the guest additions and now it captures
the mouse, but I can't click on anything.   So... I'm guessing there is
something up with guest additions from VB 5.2.22    I'm debating on if I
should try the same process with VB 6.0
