Bug Description

Binary package hint: drivel

 * hardy
 * drivel 2.0.3
 * expect upstream fix, made this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528432

When using Drivel 2.0.3 to log into a blog site for which you have a user
account, the default server address provided by Drivel is sometimes incorrect.

For example, wordpress.com. This is a blog with a Journal type of Movable Type.
When you select this type, the automatic server address displayed is:
http://mt-server/cgi-bin/mt-xmprpc.cgi

However, the correct address is a combination of your user name plus additional
wordpress.com stuff. For example, if your user name is "username", the server
address should be: http://username.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

(I wasn't able to find this server address easily searching google. Even the
WordPress forum had incorrect info.)

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
