Well, thx John. I've just tried some "combination" and the problem 
seems to be solved. I will be sure tomorrow at the office - at home 
I try it on images on local HD. The problem appeared at the office, 
where I usually work on images saved to linux server volumes.
But now I have new hope and some "how to" directions :)

Well, there is no chance to help. I just have to change or modify 
some fixed behaviours. It will be easier to understand if U will 
know, that last 5 years I made about 30'000 pictures and maybe 
100'000 simple operations. I REMEMBER that "Ok" button is in 
Right/Down Corner. In G 2.6.3 in this corner is "Cancel" button. 
So... after applying levels, curves, resolution or so... I just 
confirm operation by moving pointer over the right/down corner 
button, click and... "play it again, Sam" :D

But trully it is not big matter. After next 5 years I will move 
mouse to another button, and they will back to "old config" ;)

Yeah, this is proper info. Thanks. I need few days to refresh my 
knowledge about script-fu, but I see that there is important 
difference in using "let" operator and generally they change 
variables settings. I need one day and fresh brain and maybe I will 
manage with it. Today is late here and... I'm tired a bit.

U R Right. But old guys (me?) sometimes are not quick and clever 
enought to follow all changes.

Anyway. Thanks for really BIG help.
