Project Hamster: Dear Santa,

We have Hamster working from command line, but dying in panel on (some?) 64 bit machines due to some threading issues or something and I totally can’t find the instructions i remember reading and using two years ago on how to debug applet once in panel.

I written whole bunch of documentation and even generated a reference for the hamster graphics lib. What’s most importantly, there is now a tutorial to get you started.
