The user folder should be copied...

IMHO a very good idea ;)

Finally I did some changes:
- Changed priority to highest (IMHO release of 4.0 _should_ be postponed
because of this bug. If we expect, that something isn't working it should even
not be called Beta, it should be called Alpha or even Daily! [I am very sorry
for how this statement sounds like, it's a little bit too direct ;)]
- I changed the URL. Oiginal URL:
