Thank you. I don't have one offhand - I know the GNOME team knows about it (one of them explained it to me in the first place), and it's not any kind of release-blocking issue, so I've never really needed to find The Bug, if there is one. I expect mclasen or drago01 would know where it is, though. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
