Jeremy,

I am not unwilling to test per se. I am unwilling totest it now and this time. I have given up on Ubuntu 9.10 and lost enough time on it.

I am not a system manager that can spend a whole day re-installing Ubuntu 9.10, and test bug fixes, and hope that this improved version of Ubuntu 9.10 is ok for what I need.

Imagine my situation: I need this laptop for my work. I have it finetuned for my needs and that did cost me several days of work, installing the programs and add-ons and what more. To do what you want, requires me to make an extensive backup, install Ubuntu 9.10, test the bug fixes. If the bug fixes are fine, I can continue with normal work.

If the bug fixes are not fine, the only way to go back to Ubuntu 9.04 for me is to format the computer, re-install Ubuntu 9.04, install my software, add-ons and what more, finetune the settings, get the backup back in. Than I can continue with normal work.

The bug that I reported happened to me after the screwup of Ubuntu with the release of 9.10. It was even on the national Dutch news broadcast that this happened. A lot of people talked about this problem in a lot of discussion forums. I can't imagine nobody else had this problem.

Thanks for your efforts fixing the problem. Just before version 10.04 is released, Six months after the problem occurred. Sorry, I am not going into the trouble to test it.
