Quite some bugs have been fixed. The display issue remains. You missed quite a 
bit of action because you could not select a patient. One problem I see is 
that there is little info on how to access some of the cool feauture of 
GNUmed.

I am busy as hell but some day we might get a small demonstration video out 
that show some of the cool features.

I produced a set of screenshot which hopefully will appear soon on gnumed.org
