Good point. I had just assumed the "problem" was something more drastic
than out-of-sync, and we all know what "assume" means.

I agree that anybody doing any editing should have projectX around but,
being a a java app, it takes a fairly decent box to run it well, and
it's probably best to run it on separate machine from your Myth box,
unless the Myth box is very fast.
