Finally got it working with Xnest.
Open a terminal and type the following:
Xnest -ac :1 & export DISPLAY=:1
Press ENTER. After the Xnest window opens go back to the terminal and type the following:
limewire &
Press ENTER.
That should do the trick. It worked for me and I still have "new car smell" when it comes to linux problems abd trouble-shooting them. I wish I were a bit more tech savvy so that I could explain why and how this works but I cannot. I just know that it does. For me.
Hope this helps.
