This has been a longstanding nitpick of mine (tho while I knew it didn't work exactly as documented I hadn't gotten into the details to the level you did), so fixing it is certainly appreciated. But the heads-up is also certainly appreciated and I believe we should make a special note of it in the announcement for the version with the fix (and possibly for several versions since many distros and their users may skip that specific version). And of course, note it in the git commit as well, for people like me that run the git version but faithfully check the git logs on upgrade. =:^) Depending on how much work you want to do with the implementation, maybe do a single-time warning dialog with it as well (but IMO auto-conversion is unwarranted complexity and a bug invitation too far), that will popup the first time the fixed version runs, then store the fact that it ran somewhere (new preferences.xml line?) so it doesn't need to bother the user again. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
