Hi Alex, My apologies for the slow reply (my gmail account was down for near a week and months of emails were lost). Re Unity, from the synaptic package manager I have version 3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty2 installed. Also I am using Gnome, not Unity, as my desktop. cheers Tim On Wed, 2011-10-05 at 18:15 +0000, Alex Launi wrote: > I believe this is fixed.
