Comment 10 for bug 648674

And what help is that to a complete novice?

I take it you are expecting them to know that a package for next release (that is still in development, as you well know) is okay to be installed on their system? And how on earth would they get to learn this, when all they might know is that gpointing-device-settings causes a Segmentation Fault error when they run it?

There are people on the planet that do not know as much about running linux as you evidently do. And why would they bother to learn?
