[bug-gv] Re: gv-savepos

[Thanh Han The]

Hello Markus,

thanks for the prompt reply and the good news that the patch
has been accepted. Please feel free to make whaterver
changes or improvements -- I am aware that the patch was
ugly since I don't understand how gv works and I just hacked
it to get the job done.

Best regards,
Thanh
