Installed bigboard from the repo file on Fedora Core 6. The side bar on 
the left says "sign in to Mugshot" on three places (On top, below 
applications, below photos) even though I am already signed in and 
running.  Clicking on it doesn't work. Here is the command line output. 
If you need more info let me know.
