I rather agree.  I might inadvertently have done something else,  but
of course didn't anticipate trouble and didn't keep a log.

As I said earlier,  I had run the GTK version,  ran the JAL Package Manager
under Tools,  and update/upgraded/added anything and everything that
was absent or out-of-date.  I think there were somewhere between 3 and
5 items altogether,  but can't say which were new and which updated.
So it is likely that I updated some other applications in addition to those
you were announcing.

I don't suppose there's much you can do with this information,  but
thanks anyway!

Mike
