Hello all,

First, thanks to Lucio, Basil, Mika, and Colin for the replies!

That was indeed true. I THOUGHT I had set up both the same way, but we
all know how reliable 'thoughts' can be. :-)

This one looks quite good - it is version 11, which is almost the
latest one. They also explain why 0.7 is the latest 'official' for
Lucid. They also hint at the risks of using the later builds, re video
problems. :-)

I'll grit my teeth and try it, though. :-)

The inclusion of launchpad.net in the search is the key - I didn't
think to do that when I was rummaging around.

Thanks to all for the help.
