 I've reported your bug upstream and you might want to subscribe to the
 upstream discussion at:
    <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166696>

 The solution isn't easy, and support for Cyrix or 386 CPUs is not on
 upstream's priorities, hence your problem might take a while to be
 fixed.

   Regards,
