Comment 4 for bug 241478

Please forgive the following, but I think this is another example of poor bug-tracking and poor end-user relations. It seems like, instead of a developer checking the code to see if it has been updated to fix this problem, I'm asked to download a large new major release. It seems like many Ubuntu bug reports are handled this way: instead of the developer checking the code, the end-user is asked to check a newer version, over and over again. Contrast this with Debian, where it seems like they actually look into the problem and determine whether an attempt to fix it has been made before asking the user to try a newer version--unless the user wasn't using the latest release when he filed the bug.
