Sorry for posting this twice, I got an email from the list that the 
message could not be posted to the list, so I tried again. I read and 
write to the newsgroup, prefer it above a mailinglist, but something 
seems to have been wront with the interface between mailinglist and 
newsgroup. Hope it is solved.

Anyway, a patch for this bug has been posted on launchpad, I tried it and 
so far it works for me, hope it will find its way into the distribution 
soon. for me it is case closed ;-)
