...have just been forwarded to the external update servers; here are 
their preambles:

5110altXSysCatFix-nk -- Ned Konz -- 15 November 2002
This allows cmd-x to be used as a keyboard shortcut for removing a 
system category from a browser"

5111browserFix-sw -- Scott Wallace -- 15 November 2002
Corrects the bug that issuing cmd-x when the class-list, 
system-category-list, or package-list pane has keyboard focus in a 
browser that has no class selected would drop the user into a 
debugger"

5112cleanupCategories-ajh -- Anthony Hannan -- 19 November 2002
As per Scott Wallace's request, this changeset cleans up categories 
in 3.4 left over from the old modules form."

5113dropFix-mir -- Michael Rueger -- 13 November 2002
Circumvents a huge delay that occurs only on the Mac upon external 
drop -- a situation that arrived a year ago in update 4522"

5114fileDirTestsFix-nk

5115fileListUpdateFix-nk -- Ned Konz -- 16 November 2002
This fixes the registering file list in 3.4a so that after completing 
a registered service, the file list updates its file list and 
contents panes.
This fixes the problem where the file list doesn't refresh after 
decompressing a .gz file.

5116fontEditFix-btr -- Brian T. Rice -- 18 November 2002
Fixed BitEditor's initializing method setColor: to grab the right 
bit-depth, which prevented it from opening, and added a note to 
StrikeFont>>edit: that it only works in MVC."

5117italicStrikeFont-bg -- Boris Gaertner -- 6 October 2002
derived italic fonts are incomplete. The reason is that the glyph 
form is not created wide enough. This change set fixes that glitch."

5118mvcMenuFix-sw -- Scott Wallace -- 16 November 2002
When a CustomMenu uses the targets-list and arguments-list feature, 
use the invoked-on object as the recipient if an item beyond the 
section having explicit targets is chosen"

5119projSaveFixes-sw -- Scott Wallace -- 19 November 2002
Addresses problems that were interfering with the ability of projects 
containing etoy scripts to be successfully saved, and also caused 
errors in attempting to load saved project files.
(1)  Fixes a serious bug in update 5095Project-dep-tk which would 
frequently abort project-saving, with an error.
(2)  The Postscript of the update forces recompilation of three 
classes that had obsolete references to ResourceCollector in them, 
presumably as a result of the (now-purportedly-fixed) class mutate 
bugs."

5120savePrefs-nk -- Ned Konz -- 17 November 2002
This adds two buttons to the Preferences tool that let you save and 
load your preferences to and from disk.
It stores boolean preferences as well as more complex parameters and 
the desktop color.
The storage is in a binary format.

5121smallIntNextObj-je -- Joern Eyrich -- 22 October 2002
override >>nextObject in SmallInteger (just as with 
SmallInteger>>nextInstance) to prevent a VM crash when calling this 
method"

5122sqlandFixes-mir -- Michael Rueger -- 18 November 2002
A collection of fixes from the Squeakland plugin update stream.
Enables the project loader to fall back to Squeak Sockets if the 
Browser Plugin isn't supported or simply not working.
Fixes some minor and major problems:
- introduces a backward compatibility for ScrollController
- makes the My Squeak folder accessible on the Mac
- adds support for external proxy settings
- fixes an issue with fetching updates from behind a firewall
Fixes problems with storing projects in local files and reading BMP 
files from a project archive.
Fixes a problem with dnd'ing images into squeak after the sandbox has 
been activated. FileUrl cleverly enough returns a html directory 
listing when it can't open the file. Fix is really only a workaround.

5123sysWindowIcons-nk -- Ned Konz -- 18 November 2002
This change set makes the window close and collapse icons independent 
of the existence of the ComicBold font.

5124yellowButFix-sw -- Scott Wallace -- 18 November 2002
Fixes the bug that dropped one into a debugger when one tried (in an 
mvc project) to invoke the yellow-button menu of, for example, the 
BitEdtor"

5125zipFixFix-nk -- Ned Konz -- 14 November 2002
This fixes memberNamed: in zips to look at the platform-independent 
name as well as a platform-dependent name.
This makes SAR loading work under Windows.
