Sorry, you're right (although I was as clear as script-fu itself...)
GIMP just opens the typical pop-up window saying that there was an
error in the procedure, without saying which kind error was it).
I don't have 2.6 installed here, sorry for not being more precise.
I expect no error, of course.

Or at least gimp-layer-remove-mask to do nothing if no mask exists.
Strange that the script-fu routine worked in 2.4: the routine
gimp-layer-get-mask returns the mask, it is not boolean, so it
shouldn't really work as a conditional...

But then the script will not work in 2.4 (could not find that
procedure in 2.4).

    Thanks,
