Comment 38 for bug 169985

Fix confirmed on Linux Mint 7 (based on Ubuntu 9.04), Ubuntu 9.04 (when I
finally found out where to put the extension) and Windows XP.

I'll try out the very latest fix with the colour slice feedback on at least
WinXP and possibly Ubuntu and confirm if that works as well.
I'll be using the script for the next two design jobs now so I'll really be
able to put it to the test. Thanks for the good work.
