Cool - I'll try to remember to check the changelog in the future. But again.. wow. And not in a good way. Install putty on debian, run putty, right click on the putty menu bar (title bar?) and the menu is lacking _anything_ to do with how putty behaves. Install putty on windows, run putty, right click on the putty menu bar & there's a 'Change Settings' option that lets me change the font or font size on the fly, colors, cursor, window size, enable/disable logging, etc. Not being able to change things on the fly with the debian version of putty is .. disappointing at best.
