Thank you for the tip. I downloaded the most recent .tar.gz from
sourcefourge.net, but I have one doubt now: can I just install it over the
one  I installed form the .deb? Will the installer be intelligent enough
to preserve configuration and the like? Will it mess up my system?Also, I wonder
if those files from sourcefourge are recent enough. Would
it be better to get the cvs version?thanks in forward,
