Please remain subscribed to this list for the duration of this email

happens to be one of the reasons we use google groups). You will not
be cc'd again. This is something you want changed, make this easier on
us and not yourself. :)
Why is it that this is a problem? Maybe I'm not understanding, but
we're just opening sys prefs, why does that cause problems for your
application? Why does your application not take into account
situations like this? i.e. this is the only time I've heard of this
problem, why is this something that we must fix and not you?
Also, you need to provide this in a patch file, not inline in an email.
Third, we've moved to use hg, was this a patch against the hg
repository or the svn repository?
