Well, I've filed an "incident report" (btw, Mandrake soft should *REALLY* streamline their bugtracking facilities, it's too painful to report any problem right now) but it seems that nobody's interested (which is strange, since it looks like a major nuisance to me).
I really don't know what else can we do. I'm going off the list now, so please, Cc: me from now on. Thanks, Roman.
