Well, not to sound ungreatful but... this is a terrible patch.  Removing
files and then re-adding the same files in the patch - what's that all
about?  And the BUGS, I guess removing the "buggy" functionality is one
way to remove the bugs; not what I would have chosen though.

As for one, the feel 130 (transparent) toggle for the menus moving to 129
(was one pixmap entire menu). I always run my window manager and, as it
was under 1.4.5.3 - it was buggy, but still worked!  As I see it, my X is
always up and once you went theough the motions of using:
	TextureTypes     128        128      128       128       128
then initializing it, then going back to:
	TextureTypes     128        128      128       129       128
then menu had the entire pixmap.  The bug in this was if you
re-initialized the look.file - it lost it and went transparent - with the
still *unacceptible* bug of not removing the highlight when transparent!
Personally I'd rather wait a couple weeks for a patch that fixed things
not removed and replaced them with other still buggy functions.

I've went back to using the 1.4.5.3 afterstep binary inconjunction with
all other 1.4.5.4 binaries - if anyone else sees it as I do.  All is going
well so far.

 Anyway, enough of my venting - I wouldn't use anything else,
so I'm just expressing myself - hope it wasn't taken incorrectly. :)

p.s. A changelog would be nice too; sure I could just look at the patch,
but this one made no sense....okay that file is being removed...ah,
no...wait, it's getting added again...hmmm. :)
