RE: [Bigsister-general] Grouping Howto

["Douglas Valkenaar" <suppressed>]

Couple things:

1) Could be your choice of skin: try "%skin static_lamps techie"
2) Did you wait long enough (up to three minutes) and force a refresh of
the screen?
3) As far as grouping, make sure you've added the targets (hosts) to a
group - in your case "UserDesktops".
