Hello Naty and thank you for the instructions. I have signed
contributor's agreement.

In answer to your question about proposing branch against source -vs-
project: this is only the second bug that I have attempted to work on,
so actually I don't know how to propose against project instead of
source. These are the steps I took to push my branch back to the server:

debcommit
bzr push lp:~chris-asce....tware.org.uk/ub...ne-control-panel-fix-715820
bzr lp-open

I should add that I first ran bzr-buildpackage, pbuilder-dist and dpkg,
to try out the modified control panel, which does function with
tooltips, although clearly not rigorous testing.

I will probably need a bit of help (or pointers to docs) running the
tests and with correctly proposing branch against project. My nick is
grunthus on #ubuntu-motu, so I'm happy to ask for help there or perhaps
via email from you, so long as you have time!

Thanks again,
Chris
