Well, I'm only trying to find a solution that could be best for our Ubuntu users and our l10n team (and by the way, I'm over 50 ;-). I'm not a Ubuntu user, only a debian one, so I really don't know how it works hence why I ask somebody else to test it. So, I'm going to ask some Ubuntu newbies on the FR list and will bring you the feedback. Believe me, I don't want to reduce the issue or make it appears less important than it is.
