Re: What's the "Hangul shaper"? Sounds like a power tool...

I don't suppose there's a bug filed against this that describes the problem
and why it's not easily fixable, is there?  I never have much luck searching
bugzilla.gnome.org.  Generally the only response I get to a search is "Zarro
boogs found".

I'm a little behind on rebuilding and updating from CVS.  I had things
working for awhile, but apparently got fooled by recent releases of libtool,
automake, autoconf, etc and bodged things a bit, so I'm probably three or
four weeks behind the curve now on rebuilding.

Thanks for the feedback.
