Thanks, that did it.
However I have to wonder why I could see widgets listed that wouldn't
work without this package,
but the package isn't installed as a dependancy,
and the error message gives no clue as to what is needed.
In fact I see other widgets (e.g. Blue Marble) that seem to need OpenGL,
but again no indication of what to do.
