This is a follow up to Debian bug 342796.
See http://bugs.debian.org/342796

Hi,

This GNOME package is undergoing bug triage. As the bug report you
filed was for a version which is now quite old, we need to know if
it's still valid.

We have tried, but not been able to reproduce the bug, and no bug
matching the description you gave have been found in the upstream
bug tracker.

Please reproduce your bug on an up to date version (preferably from
unstable) and confirm it still exists, or close it as irrelevant for
recent versions.

If you don't know, or are not sure how to update or close your bug
report, please mail me directly, and I'll help you.

Unreproducible bugs are usually closed after 30 days, so it's
important that you update the bug report.

Thanks for your interest in Debian and GNOME.
