You should be able to drag and drop the object to the first position in
the gallery. That makes it the default image.

Install the python imaging library. This is used to convert files from
one format to another, and to resize images. Many distributions include
this, so it may be on your CD. If you are using redhat, download a copy
from http://gramps.sf.net/install.html

If you can't find it, let me know.

the edit window associated with it. There are a few logistics that have
be be worked out first.

This is a bug in 0.7.0. It will be fixed in 0.7.1. You can probably fix
this by hand by editing TextDoc.py by changing all occurances of
"utils.txt2fl" to "float".
