The one in debian squeeze (stable).

5.7.1

but as I say, all I want to do is configure the type of files tagged by
global - something I assume is possible even on an older global?

If its not possible to tell global to only tag certain file types, then
of course I can look into moving to a new version but would prefer not
to if avoidable - but I suspect it is possible and I am missing
something in the manual since it seems such a basic configuration
requirement for any tagging system.

Many thanks for your support
