Jasper,

  Without docs it's like driving at night across the high desert. So, I'll
tweak the spec file, rebuild the packages, uninstall the present
installation and re-install the corrected one. OK. Wonder why the buttons
were changed to having all the same color, why the window title bar lost the
rounded ends, and why the colored boxes on the pallette setup dialog don't
do what they used to do.

  I'm sure all these were done for very good reasons, but they sure broke a
perfectly working installation here and are consuming a lot of time to fix.
Sigh.

  OK. I'll give that a try.

Thanks,
