App from gnome-mag package does not do anything

[John Rose]

App (magnifier) does not do anything when run from Dash. Software Center states that app is named vmg & can be run from Terminal. Doing that causes 'command not found'.

I should have said that running magnifier from Terminal (as instructed in Software Center) causes display of many 'We should clip at ...' messages but no ability to magnify portions of screen.

PS vmg/magnifier used to work in Lucid. So it looks like a regression bug.
