Thanks, Benoit! That worked. Guess I missed it because I had no
intention of leaving 1.0.x until I started off on this new installer
project for VL, lol. And  switched for the GTK component, but it's not
working well for me, has a while to go, I guess. Anyway, I'm sticking
with 1.9.x for the embedder and a few other goodies.
