Thanks, Marcus, I appreciate it.

Personally, I haven't run into this problem (or I'd have saved the log 
file for you guys to look at), but it is somewhat distressing to find 
things and be told "fixed in next release, won't fix in this release".  I 
ran into that with a bug in gsynaptics not long after the 11.0 release 
and I had to fight to get that patch backported from the *pre-release* 
11.1 (where it was fixed).  Seems kinda silly to me to have to do that.
