gEDA-dev: Some gschem misfeatures noted this morning (10.5.2006)

[Stuart Brorson]

Peter --

I applied the patch, but now can't open up the schematic pages.

If the change works for you, can you please commit it to your CVS
branch, and I can nuke my installation and install a fresh load from
CVS.  I just want to make sure that the problem is not mine.

Thx,

Stuart
