Michael,

I will re-iterate that top-posting is considered rude on mailing lists.
Please post in-line or on the bottom.  This helps keep the consistency
of the thread readable.

Secondly, please don't expect bugs to be fixed if they are filed in
launchpad.  This is a gnome project and we only look at gnome's bugzilla
for issue tracking.  I would gladly look at your issues if you open bugs
at http://bugzilla.gnome.org .  You should complain to your distro that
they are not pushing issues upstream.

Thanks,

Jon
