One that most developers don't follow. Hey, I said I would file a bug report! =) As a matter of fact, I was on the way to do it when I found someone already did it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372011 And apparently there's even a workaround that solved the problem for some people (but, unfortunately, not all): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372011#c28 I am at work now, will try this ASAP and post back here (and at bug 372011) my results. > I really have no idea just how many have had problems such as this.

Still, I agree that success count should be higher -- but it doesn't "ease the pain" of being one of the unfortunate ones =( Regards, Andre
