I stand corrected :-)

Here's the error I though I was fixing:
	: s ; facemail -w
	Traceback (innermost last):
	  File "/local/usr/bin/facemail", line 4, in ?
	    try: exec "import %s; %s.main(%s.args())" % (mod, mod, mod)
	  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
	  File "/local/usr/lib/facemail/facemail.py", line 678, in main
	    getface.InitFaceImage(root)
	  File "/local/usr/lib/facemail/getface.py", line 65, in InitFaceImage
	    WhiteFaceImage = ImageTk.BitmapImage(Image.new('1', (width, height)))
	  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 855, in new
	    return Image()._makeself(core.fill(mode, size, color))
	SystemError: new style getargs format but argument is not a tuple

Anything obvious to look for?

(this program works fine with the PIL 0.3b1 release.)
