For what it is worth, I have followed every tutorial, tip, hint, trick, etc that I
Google can find for installing TCM.  No luck. Thankfully Roberts fl_teachertool works
perfect.  I have not tried anything with Gutsy yet.  I fire up TCM every now and then to
see if it magically works, but no magic.  Sometimes I see users, sometimes I see the
install x11vnc message, sometimes no message, but I never can view/control or see
thumbnails and sometimes it locks up my session.  

My advice, give Roberts teachertool a try for now.
