I'd also like to question the status of this bug. It's set to Fix committed,
which means it should be in the development release. However, the recent
Ubuntu update which was supposedly from a new upstream development release,
did not seem to have the fix included. Does this mean that the bug really
isn't fixed, or that Ubuntu's "new upstream development release" was taken
from a point before this bug was fixed?
