If you select any "category" it gives you a dummy method you can alter
and then use "Accept" to save it. The issue I see is that the template
they provide is not correct syntax.

method: selectors and: arguments
    "Comment describing purpose and answered value."
    | temporary variables |
    statements


should be (the brackets):

method: selectors and: arguments [
    "Comment describing purpose and answered value."
    | temporary variables |
    statements
]


that is the "new" fileout syntax of GNU Smalltalk. Would you like to
try to fix that, create a GNU changelog and use git format-patch to send
the patch?

Any special gentoo release or flags? Is gtk-2.0 installed?
