Thanks for the bug report. I added \iffontchar so that the existence of 
bullet is checked and math bullet used if the former not found.

I have just uploaded a new version of gmutils to CTAN.

BTW, the ancient xparse © 1999 present in TL2007-13 (Ubuntu package) 
collides with xkeyval, namely: that ancient xparse uses \KV at def not 
provided by (x)keyval.

So I rewrote xparse (te command declared with \DeclareDocumentCommand 
made \protected) and included it into gmutils.

Regards,
Grzegorz.
