1. restart is not necessary in this case, and if you have teh right resetprog listed in your TextConfig, everything should be transparent. 2. why create stm.d for only 1 package (gpm)? > > Any time the default way of do things is changed, the user should be > notified.

I think you are talking about /etc/TextConfig in 1.8-1, and it was indeed messed up, so was STM_reset script. I messed up a lot of thiings in 1.8-1. That package should have never been released, and I apologize for it, but what can I do? I released fixed 1.8-2 within 3 days. Please install stm 1.8-2 and see if that works for you.
