Hmm. I built xombrero from git, and it seems to be unable to connect to
anything. There are no error messages, no nothing -- it just displays
the loading icon animation and sits there looking cute but doing
absolutely nothing. AFAICT, it didn't even send any packets out to the
network. What gives? Am I missing some library, or did I screw up some
configuration...?
