Will do in the bug report, but here it is anyway:

What I also wonder and affects me bady is that I can't even go back to
0.9.8.4! So my desktop is very inconvenient to use. I get the same
errors once I go back. I was using that version without any problems
until I tried to upgrade. So I am kind of surprised to see that this is
not working until the problem is solved with 0.9.8.6.

Any idea about that?

Thanks.
