*** FOR USERS WHO *STILL* HAVE SCREENS THAT LOOK SCRAMBLED ***

Fix for Discis Books which contained Japanese and/or Mandarin background. The
Customize Book options were either blank for Japanese or and accented 'A' for
Mandarin.

Fix for book scroller. With books with few pages, the scroller did not react
to mouse clicks directly below or directly above the pointer.

Fix for book list in the open book dialog breaking up when changing from 
Discis Books to Preview Books.
