Hi Chris, please keep the bugnumber addres in the Cc. I assume there is nothing private in here; therefore I include it again, and also include the xdvik maintainer.

Still it seems that in a way it's under the red framed carpet of not trying to display what it is currently not able to display. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ.
