Comment 6 for bug 366482

Lew, thanks for reporting this bug, and sorry we never managed to fix it. Ubuntu developers -- like everyone else -- have limited time, so they try to focus on the worst bugs affecting the most people.

Ubuntu 8.10 reached end-of-life on 30 April 2010, and 9.04 on 23 October 2010, so there will be no more bug fixes to either of them. If you have a similar problem with a current version of Ubuntu, please report a separate bug.
