Thank you very much, faxing works very well this way and from KDE applications (which use kprinter as their printing dialog and kprinter uses kde printfax for faxing) it is even much easier than with the hp-sendfax GUI.

Is there a kdesendfax equivalent in GNOME/GTK, which is on the Ubuntu (without K) desktop CD?

We should put out an Errata message/release note, telling the user how to configure the fax GUIs of GNOME and KDE to send faxes with an hp-sendfax command line.

Naturally the PyQt bug needs to get fixed, too, but this way we have a workaround for the waiting users.

On the GNOME and XFCE Feisty CDs we should perhaps even pre-configure a GNOME/GTK fax frontend to use hp-sendfax, as they do not ship PyQt at all. This could be done by printerdrake (https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/printerdrake).
