| Upgrade to what? I'm already running 6.3.2. Are you saying that between
| 6.3.2-0 and 6.3.2-3, gravity was added? The changelog says nothing about
| that. Besides. 6.3.2-0 is the latest in the FreeBSD ports; so I could
| upgrade yet if I wanted to.

It may have been added immediateally after that release.

It may also be that it is just not part of the Perl Magic stuff too, the
perl API tends to be a little further behind the Core stuff.

Report it in the IM developer forum.

In the mean time you can so what was done befor extent understodd
gravity... Add a border and crop as appropriate.
