[Cialug] I'm so bummed

Interesting.  I did finally get the extensions to work on 5.1.38 (windows
10), apparently I missed a reboot of the vm somewhere during the process.
  Now that I have a base VM that works I need to get gnome to run at
2560x1440 and have the window automatically resize.   I'll see if I can get
dconf-editor loaded and tweak gnome.

Maybe later I'll try moving this vm into VB 6.0.0... Maybe I'm a little
rusty, but I don't remember VB being such a challenge.
