The main code waits 2.5 seconds for the backend (which is the message subsystem
that talks to the rendering engine) to start up. It should never take that long,
and because it did you are getting that error. I have no idea why and would love
to find out. So sorry, I can't solve it for you but if you do manage to get it
going I'd lke to know what you did. If you don't get it going in the next few
days please let me know and I'll work with you to find the cause of it.
