OK, this is one point I have missed - would have been better to prepare the 
NEWS file earlier and integrate it in the first tarball, cause my plan is NOT 
to do a new tarball (or modify the existing one) if there are no problems 
with compiling etc.

Yes, good idea from my point of view. Toma (?) has editied the script that 
does the packaging to exclude the PACKAGING file and I can modify it to 
exclude the ruby files, too.

Good healthy sleep is the best medicine one can get, except for workaholics 
like you maybe ;-)

OK, we have to cosmetic improvements for a possible RC2: an updated NEWS file 
(new icons + bugfixes) and excluding the ruby scripts. I tend to not doing a 
RC2 for this small glitches, but please let me hear your opinion. In any case 
I will fix this things in the next release.
