Bug Description

The tool is not set up for use after the install, one must add an option to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The tool tip says to add "UseShm" "true" to the synaptic section. This does nothing, as the actual option required is "SHMConfig" "on".

This bug required some research before I could find the solution given. I would think that the tooltips given to configure the tool, should be accurate.

to revu? did you tell anyone about it?

No wonder this got lost in the ether somewhere...

debdiffs usually get attached to the bug, and ubuntu-universe-sponsors is added.

Fortunately, this will be fixed with the latest sync.
