Success? Maybe... Alephzero progress and questions.

Started over from scratch, installing everything in Ubuntu 13.10 in a VirtualBox. I used the code.ethereum.org tarball. (downloaded this morning)
I had to do two things differently from the instructions:
1) I had to issue: "sudo apt-get install qt5-default" in order for alephzero to build.
2) I had to edit cpp-ethereum-poc-1/alephzero/alephzero.poc to correctle append "-poc-1" to "cpp-ethereum" in the INCLUDEPATH
alephzero runs, and here's what I tried so far:
Clicking Mine adds 1b wei, but doesn't seem to do anything beyond that.
Clicking Connect opens a window, in which I entered: "54.200.78.45:30303" this added a line to the leftmost pane, and I can see in the terminal that my client is attempting a bunch of additional connections. They either go to "Connected." or "Connection refused (connect: Connection timed out)" but no changes appear in the leftmost pane of the client gui. Also, the client greys out, or goes dim on me, and I can't interact with it any more.
Do I just need to wait for the connection attempts to finish? Or will my client perpetually try to find new connections? Is the greyed out window a problem? Should I eventually see more than one peer? (I've seen a ton of "Connected." messages in the terminal, but nothing in the client's gui window.

My router does have uPNP and does allow the port 30303 to flow thru to my dynamic ip. I show 7 peers in the GUI client. Yes the terminal windows showed a bunch of activity, but now seems to have paused or stopped with no additional activity at the GUI (AlephZero) or the terminal.
I'm at Ubuntu 13.10 and have built both the cpp command and GUI clients.
I have not created my own local test network - nor have I built clients on multiple computers - just the one.
So - I guess - this is it for now. I'll leave the machine running and connected this way to see if there is any further activity - it's been approx 30 minutes

Alephzero has a graphical frontend, so it will be tougher to run over a non-windowed terminal. (Sorry if my terminology is weak here...)
My panels don't wink in and out like you are describing, but for a while after I initially connect, the entire window does intermittently go grey and unresponsive. But if I wait it out it always seems to come back eventually.
As far as mining goes, we're mining temporary test wei on the test network. None of this is for real yet.
I am not getting peer connections.
Sorry for the imperfect answer...
Specifically, what does the presence or absence of that "UPNP" button at the top left of the alephzero window indicate? Anyone know?
