I apologise for my temper. In any case in the instructions after step 3 you have to continue alone in the woods. In the folder it's created after unzip the file you can find a file with instructions contradicting the instructions given first hand. To use your own video file, it says something like go to line 14 and do this and that...and so on. In that case the file a-desk_EN inside bin directory for what reason is existing? and the Atomic_city.wmv is not working either. To get more, the videos included in gtk-apps.org, like: v.a.-desk.part01.rar etc are corrupted or they just don't open. I'm sure it's working finally but needs a whole day to install it and I don't have so much time to dedicate for a script.

I spent at least 1 hour trying to install that thing, finally it's not working. Even if it was working from the whole instructions you feel that is created and destined for people less than 12 years old. Pleaaaase give us a break!!!!
