Thanks Stefano. I have been one of the first adopter of Gump (I have even used it on a big project at work! :-)). I do not wish to depart. However, in the past I had enough energy to keep fixing things even it wasn't easy (like I had to install Gump on my machine, etc). Unfortunately I have shifted my interest to some other areas and I don't have much time to invest in learning Gump itself.
I do understand that the Gump community is working towards addressing these issues so I'll be patient! :-) Leo has kindly offered to create an account for me on his machine. I think I'll take the offer so that I can try debugging the Cactus gump build.
