Hi Bill, John,

Happy New Year! Just wondering whether this build was created from cvs head
(together with new plugins and tools, such as the text label tool), or from
the 0.9.21 release with a few updates/patches.  The last few days I put
together a new Mac build from cvs head, but am encountering a few painting
anomalies - not sure whether head is currently unstable, or whether I'm
encountering some Mac-specific issues.

Martin
