huh?  This bug has been around forever
(https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/7839, it was reported against
hoary or warty).  I absolutely don't like the idea of recommending against
using reportbug.  Every month or so, the developers tell us they have a fix
for this, and every release goes by without one.  

Supposedly, Corey Burger's been getting the submissions that reach the list
and creating launchpad entries. 

So just keep sending in those reportbug submissions.  Sooner or later, I
expect it will be fixed.
