hi again,

thanks dirk for your previous answer. i move this little issue to a new
thread, as the conditions changed. i do have an ubuntu desktop machine
for testing, so i went ahead and installed ros-groovy-desktop plus
-rqt. this went well. alas,

$ rosrun rqt_gui rqt_gui

doesn't serve me, because "qt_gui" isn't found. the "qt_gui*"
directories do reside in /opt/ros/groovy/share though.

gladly accepting any hints.

bst, opt
