But am I wrong in thinking the installation process is supposed to
create the monochrome and oldstyle sets in:

/usr/lib/bbgallery/template  ?

Here I see nothing like that happen even though I have now installed
gimp-perl.  And reinstalled bbgallery.

Can you coach me on creating these templates myself?  My perl skills
while deep enough for some fairly complex homemade scripts are not
deep enough to go thru the perl script and figure out what goes into a
template. 

Maybe I could just copy yours.. Do you have have something at:

/usr/lib/bbgallery/template?
