Re: [Sc-devel] Quarks.gui

["Dan Stowell" <danstowell@xxxxxxxxx>]

My mistake! It turns out that my laptop had an old version of
QuarksGui in the extensions dir. If I delete that, the screen size is
detected correctly and the prev/next buttons appear as they should.

I do see a kind of repainting error, though. Sometimes (50% of the
time?) when I click "next" I end up with a blank window (no quarks
shown, no prev/next buttons shown, just the 3 buttons at the bottom).
The window is then immediately repainted correctly if I resize the
window slightly using the mouse.
