Doh!  I completely missed the "local" difference there.  Sorry, pilot error.
I'll either figure out how to configure the /usr/local directory into D-Bus
or else move the openvrml file into /usr.

I'm not saying I prefer it over openvrml-player (aside from the not-crashing
part); it's simply what I got working, and I can make some progress now.  I
would totally love a supported in-browser or browser-like player, though.

Really?  Dang, you'd think that would the kind of thing Intel would actually
document somewhere, but there's no mention of it on this page...

    http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=35641&processor=330&spec-codes=SLG9Y

...nor in their datasheet:

(unless it's _really_ obscure, like some implicit FSB signalling or pinout
restriction).  How annoying.

(I see they do now mention it explicitly for their newer Atom processors,
though.)

Thanks,
