[Mesh] Installing patchwork with new nodejs version on Fedora

[John]

Well recompiling seems to have worked.  From the command line it said this:

~/Documents/Projects/patchwork$ *npm start*
 > ssb-patchwork at 3.6.5 start /home/john/Documents/Projects/patchwork
 > electron index.js

(electron:1588): IBUS-WARNING **: Unable to connect to ibus: Could not 
connect: Connection refused
Log level: notice
git-ssb is not installed, or not available in path

But then the GUI interface opened up anyway and I registered as 'John'.  
When I get back I will mess with it some more, see what can be done.

What does that 'unable to connect to ibus' issue mean, anyway? Is it a 
real obstacle, or just ignore it?
