I know this is NOT a fix, I am not the one who has to do it.
I am an ordinary user as anyone else. I am not a developer nor a programer,
I wish I was. ;-)
ALL I did was exactly that, give you a 'quick' fix...
Also I am not the one who has to 'explain' to every past or future Mandrake
user how to fix it.. or better, WHY it does not work or has been fixed!
Come down man... take it easy, all we do is test and provide the programers
with information so 'they' may correct the problem.
And by pure coincidence found out that easy fix. At least it keeps me going.
Sincerelly:
