evolution quandary

[Don]

Thanks Jeremy,

That's not too encouraging... I reported the bug to redhat first, they
dismissed it as "not a bug"....

Ref. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108753

I followed up with ximian instead, and within an hour had the patch
available....
Ref. http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=50535

I reopened the redhat bug and have never heard anything since...
Perhaps there's too much emphasis on "Bug Wednesday" to CLOSE bug reports
rather than FIX bug reports. ;-)

Cheers,
Don
