Yes, it was happening (crashing) before step 2.  I downloaded and compiled vncreflector 
and once that was in place in /usr/bin/, everything worked fine.  I notice that the size 
of the original vncreflector is 101812 bytes, while the one I compiled is 102604 bytes.

I've got a working fl_teachertool now, but I'm not sure if the problem is my machine or 
something is wrong with the vncreflector package.  Thanks for your help, Robert.
