Philosophy and age-related experience here suggests that forums (fora?
forae?), like wikis (and recognizing that some _are_ wikis) serve best
to aggregate long-term documentation. Seconding Tim's position here and
siting in violent agreement with Alex, e-mail is the best venue for
wide-distribution rapid-response discussion, although the question and
at least a final decision with documentation should make its way into a
wiki/forum for long-term documentation.

Hi
In addition to Alex's comments I can add that I find the forums more
time consuming to use. If I want to quickly pop off an answer, there
really is nothing simpler than just pressing reply in my email app.
Plus with email I can take the list postings with me and answer
offline, then post my replies when I get online again. The final
reason is that I simply get information overload and its not possible
to follow all conversations around QGIS at all times...with email I
can just skim the subject lines and answer what I might know something
about, and skip the rest.
Now to your question....
It sounds like symptoms of some python issue we had where the internal
paths to qgis support files was being lost when python was as enabled.
This is fixed in trunk, and there will be a new release at the end of
the month which should hopefully address this. If you are feeling
adventurous, you could try temporarily disabling python support and
seeing if the problem goes away.

Dear qgis-user list,
I don't remember how I got the idea to subscribe to this user list...but it
was a good idea, because a lot of interesting things worth knowing are
discussed. But very often I ask myself, why problems and questions about the
program and the plugins are not discussed in the forum. This would have
several advantages:
1. solved problems, hints and advises can be found via search engine in the
internet
2. it is a lot easier to follow the threads
and 3. it is preserved better for the future. Often I find things interesting,
but have no direct use for it. And then, when I remember it and want to read
it again, it is a lot harder to search all the mails in my mail folder than
to just remember the thread in the forum or search for it...
So my suggestion is, to discuss more in the forum! This would help me and also
a lot of other users, when they try to figure out their problems searching in
the internet.
And now,
as a second thing, very selfish, I will also ask for help in this list:
To all the people who use (k)ubuntu!
Dos your Qgis run well and do you have the "backports repositories" in your
sources.list?
I described my problem already in the forum:
http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=798
but unfortunately I did not get any answer yet.
Now I have the idea, that this might be related to package-dependencies which
were caused by getting the "backports" updates. Especially I suspect
something with the Qt4 libraries.
Does anybody know about a problem like this and how to find out to solve it?
Thank you very much for your attention!!
micha
