Excellent suggestions. Regarding the "upstream priority of normal" -
why is this causing the bug to remain unfixed for 6 years now. 6

I was speaking to someone just this week who was thinking of switching
to Ubuntu from XP and actually advised them against it as i considered
ubuntu to not yet be ready for mainstream use. It's precisely because
of bugs like this that leads me to this opinion.
