Comment 3 for bug 127120

I have just seen today on the ubuntu-mobile list that in current gutsy there
are common problems with
GSlice crashes. So maybe it's a glib bug since gutsy has a recent unstable
glib branch, I hope it's not
s-c-p related at all.

Are there chances of considering s-c-p instead of gnome-cups-manager in
Ubuntu 7.10, is this the reason you're
working on it?

In the past I had very good communication with upstream (Tim Waugh) he is
helpful both in Launchpad and in private
mail, and interested in having the tool outside of Fedora.
