Tim>
Tim> I will overcome this problem by installing the standard

Tim> anyone else is thinking about trying the GTK version and
Tim> for Raman's reference. If someone already has a fix, I'd
Tim> be interested. However, as GTK doesn't really offer
Tim> anything to me that the standard version doesn't already
Tim> provide, it falls into the category of low priority
Tim> IMO. I'm mainly reporting it so that there is a record

Tim> may become an issue in the future if we begin to see
