I see all these fixes are in Gwen's master branch, not in stable.

I shouldn't be the one who tests VisualGST before a release.  I just 
trust that what is called stable _is_ actually stable.  If it is not 
that way, I have no problem upgrading to master for 3.2.1 if it is 
better.  But please let's be consistent with the nomenclature.

From now on, I suggest that VisualGST should follow these rules:

- let's drop the stable branch for now and fix the above issues on the 
master branch.

- as soon as master is ready to be imported into GNU Smalltalk, Gwen 
should do "git checkout stable; git merge -s ours master" and push it. 
_Only then_ I'll import it.  This will be a blocker for 3.2.1.

- new features will _exclusively_ be developed on the master branch.

- bugfixes will _exclusively_ be developed on the stable branch, and 
merged from there into the master branch.  It's up to Gwen whether he 
wants to do the stable->master branch himself, or he prefers to get two 
pull requests.

Otherwise, I'll have to remove VisualGST and leave it as a hosted 
project on smalltalk.gnu.org only (i.e. "at your risk").  I obviously 
don't want to do that.
