I uploaded this fix to the ppa of the ubuntu-quickfix team, which is an open team that, in my mind, should prepare simple fixes to be tested aganst the "current" distribution, that do not seem to harm, while waiting for them to be taken into account by the main distribution developers. Any launchpad user with enough skills to incorporate someone else's patch into an ubuntu package is invited to participate. Clearly, when fixes are incorporated in ubuntu, or if there's a strong enough reason, corresponding packages will be deleted from the ppa.
