Dear vmd users,

   I ran into problems trying to view the graphic of a bond distance
over time using the Label-Graph option in vmd Graphics menu. It looks
like vmd is trying to access xmgrace via an unknown grace option (see
error below). I have Grace 5.99.0 installed on my system. I suppose
that this is due to inconsistencies between vmd and newer versions of
Grace. Is there a way to fix this?

I tested both vmd 1.8.3 and vmd 1.8.4a22
