Ah, no, not at all.

I just meant that your answer was very informative. "problem is known - no 
good solution at this point". It's all what I wanted to know. No second 
degree....

Well, perharps I'm wrong, but I don't see that as a problem of "the right 
tool". It's rather a problem of philosophy : where do we dig, is it 
associated with packages, should it have something to do with scrollkeeper, 
etc...

Once we know what to do, the tools are not really a problem, are they ?
