Thank you as always Thomas. I'm trying AGtk 3 beta just for testing it in 
preview of a migration to 3.1 when ready. As far as now I was just trying 
to understand if the problem I'm having with setting up permissions for 
the venues with the 3 beta venueserver was just a problem of mine or 
"known bug"...
thanx again
