If ya promise it will help... :-) Sure! :-) (don't worry, won't hold
ya to it).
My feet are wet/w muck...I have quite a few bug#'s under my name,
with mixed results.  I put alot more into bug reports than I usually
get out of them.  But response is _better_ on SuSE projects & products
than I get on most.

But am generally a medium-core bug-filer, especially for bugs with no
easy workaround (like this one has), so it's really down in the
annoyance level -- and when people go to fix bugs, bugs with a low
severity (annoyance & workaround provided), often don't get looked
at with the loads of more serious bugs on their plate.

It's not like the solution used for SuSE would be incompatible with any
other distro, so it's a low-cost workaround for me.  Where I get
hackles raised more is when I have to do something or SuSE that makes
it not work in other environments.

I'll see if I can get around to a bug report on this 'annoyance'...
:-)
