I can either enable you for this or you can just ask me ;-)

Yes, because there was no mail in 2008 until now.

Good to see you picking up open issues. I enabled screenshots and added
the pics you provided. However, the images must have screen dimensions
between 150x150 and 640x480. Maybe some of the smaller ones need
to be put in one file to fit.

Most continous programs issue warnings or terminate in case of
an error. The test suite should be executable with 'make check'
and should either succeed or return the faulted tests.


A late Happy New Year and best regards
