Hi Carlos, cheers for your response. The version I was using was 0.14.4 which must have been released before the patch was applied. I downloaded your patch from here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422347 and it worked a treat. I now have exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks a million for help!
