Hi All,
   following Radek suggestion, I've being able to start QtMoko on the
virtual machine: just hat to run it as root.

Most of the icons are not working, such as the application menu, which
is partially populated.
 
Now, after "git pull", I'm trying to recompile, but I get the following
error in ./configure:

ERROR: You requested "-sound-system pulse" but it was disabled.

Do you have any suggestion?

Best,
  Giacomo
