You need a later version of MOL (or, you'll have to reconfigure the
X-key mappings which takes some work).
Either try the latest prebuilt version of MOL (it is in the
FTP directory - there is no direct link from the MOL web), or
build from the source tree:
rsync -vcaz zorn.theophys.kth.se::mol mol-rsync
The prebuilt version in the FTP directory might not work
properly (there is a racing condition which might cause
it to crash during the startup).
Or, wait a few days till I can put together the next
release.
