[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm having some trouble playing around with the VM, because a lot of
weird things are happening with keyboard input into the qemu window. It
seems like the meta keys (shift, ctrl, alt, super) are behaving in
strange ways, or that terminal state is getting corrupted somehow.
E.g., sometimes shift key stops working, or the cursors jumps up to the
middle of the screen, or text gets garbled. Not sure if has something
to do with the VM itself, or something in the default qemu settings, or
some weird qemu <-> gnome interactions. Here is my host system info:

I think you can do something like:
  settrans -ca /proc /hurd/procfs  cat /proc/version
Or just “uname -a”.
Can’t wait to see the screenshot!  :-)
Note: I don’t think janneke has tried building anything as high in
thestack as Emacs, that sounds a bit ambitious for a start.
