Yay, good to see you here, Matt! This is working great on Linux, I'll try Leopard later and fix the crash before putting out a build. I imagine the crash was due to a lot of changes in the image system, which finally started to stabilize yesterday. Before last week, the imaging system used Ruby's OpenURI class to fetch remote images. This meant the whole app waited for each image to load. Now, though, the imaging system uses system threads to download images in the background. I'm only just finishing this work up now, but it should benefit the Flickr and Twitter apps that are being written quite a bit. > 2. How come when I try to clear a stack the entire background gets affected? A background is an element, just like an `image` or `oval` or `stack`. This is by design, so you can stack backgrounds and borders. _why
