Not quite working on Linux Mint

[jml]

Followed the instructions in the Beta Troubleshooting Guide, etc.. synergyd starts in a terminal window. After opening the Synergy app, I get a pretty blue window with the Synergy logo. The rest of the window's blank save for a version identifier (Synergy 2.0.0-beta4) and a do-not-redistribute message. When the window opens, the log indicates:

F12 doesn't do anything, nor does ~.  If I mouse to the very center of the window (remember, the window's blank),  the cursor changes to a finger, and clicking opens the symless.com login screen. 

Ideas? This is:

# cat /etc/*-release
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.1
DISTRIB_CODENAME=serena
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 18.1 Serena"

Thanks...

Currently, as even @Nick Bolton has stated in another thread, the beta 4 when it comes to linux is a mess. It is looking to be remedied in beta 5, due out in about 4-5 weeks time. There were a few oversights that are now causing issues for many linux users overall.Your patience is appreciated while they get this next beta release working appropriately for all.

No problem... that's why they're called "betas". 

Thanks!!!!
