Thanks Markus.
However I'm a bit concerned that this bug appears to have been known since a
few months by some distro, not only Ubuntu... Distro bug trackers are
certainly a useful thing, but unfortunately what comes in them has a high
change of getting unnoticed here. Not sure how that could get improved, as
some bugs may also be very distro specific and would probably not interest us
much. Frustrating situation...

Hi Even,
very cool!
I have taken liberty to post your message in the related bug reports in
launchpad (Ubuntu tracker) to get the word spread there.
Best
Markus
