These were installed under F7 and all the files are in a partition that was not
touched during f8 install. The user icon to run them remains in the 
pre-existing desktop for the users.

In the past I know I needed the compat-libstdc++ packages and these were
duly installed in f8. Also I know in the past I needed the libXp package
and I installed this also.

When the icon is double clicked on the desktop the bobbing icon sits on
the desktop for a minute (kde) and then vanishes.  In the past this has been
an indication of a missing package. But since there is no remnant in the logs
I don't know how to identify which!
