It seems that this "fundamental misunderstanding" is quite common.

I said "if it was..." but its not, and I have problems with that as
well.

but, I gave up thinking I can change anything a long time ago (urgh, I

really care, and I really can't be bothered arguing about it anymore.

And as a somewhat linked (and somewhat unlinked) aside, does anyone want
to maintain gnome-media? I can't be bothered anymore.
