Currently, there is no way to extract an embedded symbol via the gschem GUI. Embedded symbols can only be unembedded, if a copy of the symbol is present in an accessible library. It is not possible to edit an embedded symbol either. So embedding is a one-way road with a dead-lock. Because this devaluates embedding, I filed this missing feature a bug.
Suggestion: Add the ability to export...

The manual of pcb (http://pcb.gpleda.org/pcb-cvs/pcb.html) omits the shiny, new FreeRotateBuffer command.

Since the repository has moved to git, the READMEs in the source should reflect the change:

If gschem encounters a line in a config file it does not understand, the message sent to the status window lacks the keywords "error" or "warning". Subsequently, gschem quits parsing the resource file at the offending line and resumes the start-up procedure. This may result in unexpected behavior.
Suggestion:
The message might read: "gschem encountered a problem while reading ...

The history of actions is currently "first-in first-out". This gets tedious if more than a couple of actions were typed in. Since it is most likely to repeat the most recent commands, access to the history should be "last-in first-out".

The command interface in pcb may be vastly improved if a few features from standard bash were added:
* feedback if an action fails (pop up syntax error)
* tab completion of actions
* searchable history ([CRTL-R])
* history should be preserved accross sessions

Currently, print in pcb does not play nice with CUPS-PDF-Printer. Output is always called "_stdin_". It contains only the first page of multi page output. The print dialog of gschem does a better job as it names the output like the current page.

The print dialog of pcb, GTK-HID is modal. Should be an ordinary child window.

In protel95 I used a powerful search and replace dialog to achieve this kind of task.
