I think debugging by default for test versions is extremely wise.  The
only thing it costs is disk space for the .o and .a files and the
glob2 file.

“-ggdb” tries to make sure extra debugging information that only gdb
knows how to use is included.  For example, this includes information
on macro definitions.

You can select an alternate brush with the new keystroke commands.
For example, with the default key bindings, “a 8” selects a brush that
looks like this:

  XXXXX
  XXXXX
  XXXXX
  XXXXX
  XXXXX

“a 4” selects a brush that looks like this:

    X
   X
  X

You still have to use the mouse to place the areas.  That's when you
get the crash.

Don't you get all of your glob2 e-mail automatically grouped???  I
just tell my mail program to put all glob2 e-mail in its own folder.
If I'm busy with other things, I don't even see the glob2 e-mail.

I would like to explicitly request people _not_ to put distinct topics
in the same thread, because that makes it really hard to sort out the
distinct topics.  It drives me nuts when people use an unrelated
thread for a new topic.
