vexorian, thank you for your assistance in this matter.  As a reminder,
it is still not recommended to *install* Lucid just to test a few
packages.  Also, a virtual machine, while very useful, can sometimes
cause slightly different behaviors than your actual machine because some
virtual machines translate the hardware into generic interfaces, causing
the virtual environment to use different drivers than it would have used
on the machine itself.  Therefore, in order for the virtual machine
tests to be useful, the problem first has to be reproduced using Jaunty
or Karmic in the VM, and then tested using Lucid in the VM.

As an alternative, you can boot into a LiveCD session of Lucid without
ever touching your current install (it is very much like how Knoppix
works, if you have ever used that).
