I told him that you had now seen the problem with an unrelated application but that I would pass his suggestions on. Do you think we should close this bug or reassign it to the appropriate gnome package, or should we leave it around for the time being? If we reassign, we should remember to remove the "forwarded" tag. Anyway, the fact that it happens on etch but not sid perhaps means that whatever the bug is has already been fixed, or maybe it's just hiding. --Jay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
