No is flaming the list here.  I am just frustrated that it seems that
they replaced a working app with a non working one purely for the sake
of upgrade.  From the few non-flame reponses I have gotten, it seems
that the bug in this app was reported but the new version of the app was
still put in.

I would like to help by testing.  I don't know how to get
involved...perhaps someone can  can direct me.  Some things I cannot do
are download every beta version of Mandrake and install but I can test
apps.

My point here is that some of us are merely posting to the list to see
if other people have this bug as well or if it's just my setup and we
get told to go to the beginner list instead of someone taking the time
to see if the app in question works on their machine.
