Am I correct in understanding that this only affects the Mac GUI? If 
that is the case, then there is no problem. We have not generated any 
screenshots using that platform. However, if this change would affect 
the Linux GUI, we would need Otto and Stephan Holl to comment on that 
because they have already generated a lot of screenshots.
If it affects the Windows GUI, I would need to know how it would affect 
the screen shots I have already created using that platform, and I would 
need to have someone create an up-to-date build for me.

My e-mail delivery has been unreliable lately, so I am asking for
return receipts from all my email messages.
OK'ing the return receipt lets me know that my message was delivered.
Thank you.
