wow, if you're going to correct such issues[1], I'd like to add dsome
more:

my environment is 
winxp pro
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i386-mswin32]
ruby-gtk 0.8
gtk from dropline 2.2.4

1)
 for some strange reason, %USERPROFILE% does'nt get setted on my box. 
so, if you try do a 'require library' you may get:

C:/Programmi/ruby-1.8/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbbr/ui/gtk/confmanager.rb:65:
in `initialize': No such file or directory - %USERPROFILE%/.rbbr
(Errno::ENOENT)

2)
I suppose in the rescue clause there should exist an additional
'NameError' catching. in browser.rb:39
 if you try to load this script 

$ary=Arrayciao 3000 , 0

you may get this error:

C:\Documents and Settings\gabriele\bf.rb:1: undefined
method`Arrayciao' for #<Object:0x27892d0> (NoMethodError)
        from
C:/Programmi/ruby-1.8/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbbr/ui/gtk/browser.rb:39:in
`load'
        from
C:/Programmi/ruby-1.8/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbbr/ui/gtk/browser.rb:39:in
`create_menubar'
        from
C:/Programmi/ruby-1.8/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbbr/ui/gtk/browser.rb:30:in
`call'
        from
C:/Programmi/ruby-1.8/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbbr/ui/gtk.rb:54:in
`main'
        from
C:/Programmi/ruby-1.8/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbbr/ui/gtk.rb:54:in
`main'
        from c:/programmi/ruby-1.8/ruby/bin/rbbr.rb:22

btw, every NameError will crash rbbr. What's wrong with just catching
every exception ?


3)
in moduleindex.rb line 47, 
maybe this :
       if iter.get_value(0) =~ /#{target_name}/i
should become
       if iter.get_value(0) =~ /#{Regexp.quote(target_name)}/i

other way, if you try to search for a single "]" you'll get a huge
number of warnings in the console. But maybe this is ok.

[1] I mean, those were is the environment that is not working or users
doing stupid things :)
